What is a dhebra ? A dhebra is a type of flatbread that is popular in Gujarat, India. It is made with a batter of flour, spices, and vegetables, and is often cooked on a tawa or griddle. Dhebras taste best with green chutney.

To make methi na dhebra dough, in a bowl put methi leaves, bajra flour, jowar flour, besan, chilli powder, hing, curd, ginger-green chilli paste, garlic paste, sugar, salt and with 3 tsp of oil. Make a soft dough, using enough water.

Divide the dough into 20 equal portions. Pat a portion of the dough into a 50 mm. (2”) diameter and 1 cm thick circle in between your palms. Place 6 dough rounds on a hot tava (griddle). Cook these on a medium flame using ½ tsp of oil, till they turn golden brown in colour from both the sides. Serve methi na dhebra hot with green chutney and low fat curds.

An iron and fibre-rich snack made with fenugreek leaves and bajra flour, methi na dhebra is so scrumptious that the plate will be empty in no time—so, take my advice and make more than you think is needed!

Main ingredients for tava methi na dhebra.
fenugreek (methi) leaves. Methi has a unique, slightly bitter flavor that can add depth and complexity to kebabs. It can also help to enhance the flavor of other spices in the kebab mixture. Methi leaves are low in calorie, powerful antioxidants and cures mouth ulcers.
Bajra flour. Bajra flour is high in protein and is a complete protein for vegetarians when combined with dal. So as a Vegetarian, include bajra in your diet. Bajra is a great option for those on a gluten free diet.

Although this is a tava methi na dhebra recipe, I must admit that the deep-fried version bajra dhebra tastes even better, so forget the health-watch slogans once in a while and indulge!
