Ingredient Notes
• 1 cup whole wheat flour – use any brand you prefer. Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option. • 2 tablespoons oil – I recommend using mustard oil for an authentic taste. • 1 pound fresh fenugreek leaves – if unavailable, use spinach or kale for a different flavor. • 1/2 cup yogurt – plain Greek yogurt is a great choice, or use a dairy-free version.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add the oil and yogurt to the flour mixture, kneading until a soft dough forms. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a flat, round shape about 6 inches in diameter.
- Heat a skillet and cook each wrap for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Enjoy warm with your favorite chutney or yogurt.
Things I’ve Learned
When making thepla, ensure the dough is soft for pliable wraps. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet to restore freshness. You can also freeze the wraps, separating layers with parchment paper and reheating directly from frozen for quick breakfasts.
