What is Thepla?

Thepla is commonly multigrain, typically made with whole wheat flour and chickpea and millet flour. When making theplas for travel, the flour is bound into a stiff dough with milk instead of water and extra ghee/oil. It was invented by the women of the community for their travelling husbands, as Gujaratis are primarily merchants. The men travelled from village to village selling their merchandise, but they were not always guaranteed of getting something vegetarian to eat on their journeys, so the THEPLA was invented. Methi theplas are well-known not only in Gujarat, but also throughout the country. Healthy methi thepla is also an excellent diabetic snack. This is my little ones favourite. This has lots of flavours in them and you don’t need any side dish for this, just a bowl of yogurt and pickle is enough.
