Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup cassava flour
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons ghee (or coconut oil for vegan option)
Instructions
Wash the methi leaves thoroughly, pat them dry with a paper towel, and finely chop.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and cassava flour. Add cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, ginger paste, garlic paste, and salt. Mix well to form a uniform mixture.
Fold in the chopped methi leaves. Mix well, ensuring the methi is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
Gradually add water a little at a time and knead the mixture into a smooth, pliable dough. The dough should not be too sticky.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Dust a clean surface with a little cassava flour. Take one dough ball and roll it into a thin, even circle of about 6 inches in diameter, similar to a tortilla. Repeat for remaining dough balls.
Heat a non-stick pan or tawa over medium heat. Place a rolled-out thepla on the hot pan.
Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip. Spread a small amount of ghee (or coconut oil) on the cooked side.
Cook the other side for another 2 minutes, apply ghee, and flip again.
Cook until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining dough circles.
Serve the Whole30 Methi Thepla warm with a side of compliant chutney or enjoy as is.
