Gujaratis love
plain thepla just as much as a fat kid loves chocolate.
Theplas are an inherent part of
Gujarati meals, and are used for regular meals,
travelling and for
picnics! When you anticipate a busy fortnight, you can make a large batch of
plain theplas and keep them in stock and relish with curds and
chunda or
bateta chips nu shaak.
Sometimes whole jeera or til can be added to enhance the flavour of
healthy sada thepla. You can even add other ingredients like methi and doodhi to this recipe, to add more variety to your menu.
With just handful of ingredients that are easily available in our kitchen shelves, this
plain thepla is so tasty because of the perfectly flavored dough.
This is the most basic
thepla recipe made with minimum and basic ingredients. Preparing this
sada thepla doesn't take much time and you can add
thepla to your menu when you are bored of having the regular roti or chapati as
Gujarati plain thepla can be had with any Indian sabzi. To make
plain thepla, take whole wheat flour in a bowl, add oil and curd to it which helps in making the softer. Further, add some spices, turmeric powder for some color and red chilli powder for a hint of spice. Lastly we have added sesame seeds to add a flavor to the
thepla you can also skip this step. Mix all the ingredients well and knead into a soft dough. At later stage, add few more drops of oil and knead it properly, cover and keep aside for 10 mins. Divide the dough into 14 equal portions and shape them into round balls. Press them gently between your palms and flatten it to roll out each portion into a 125 mm. (5") diameter circle using whole wheat flour for rolling. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) over medium flame. On the hot tawa, place the rolled circle and cook each circle, using a little oil, till it turns golden brown in colour from both sides on a slow flame. To increase the shelf life of the
plain thepla, use lots of oil while cooking; so that they will remain longer. Serve the hot with chunda or sweet mango pickle.
Also, the addition of curd in the dough is skipped while making
thepla for travelling. Cool them completely and store them in an air-tight container or cover with an aluminum foil. Be generous with the oil while cooking, or you might end up with dry and hard
theplas.
