About Recipe

My 97th recipe, “Poha Thepla”, an easy and healthy Indian flat bread. Usually I make regular chapatis for dinner. But at times I get bored with the plain old chapati and would love to experiment a little with it. On one such occasion I came across this wonderful dish known as “Thepla”. Thepla is traditionally a Gujarati Flatbread made from whole wheat flour and spices. It is popular in the version of Methi Thepla with the addition of Methi (Fenugreek) leaves. Ever since I came across this recipe, I try to make it once in a while, since I love the spices added to it and the health factor which the methi leaves bring to the table. But this time around I was trying to complete the last few scoops of Poha left in my cupboard. While I made the delicious Poha Croquettes yesterday, it was time for a more healthy dish for today. I suddenly remembered that my aunt makes chapati using leftover rice. Those chapati would turn out very soft compared to the regular chapati and would taste good too. So deriving inspiration from the Methi Tepla and leftover rice chapati recipes, I did some mixing and matching to come up with this flavorful Poha Thepla recipe. Though this was kind of an experiment for me, the Thepla turned out very soft and absolutely tasty. RK loved it very much. Exactly like I hoped for ;-)
