Dudhi Methi Thepla

#2020fav As Dudhi/Louki and Methi was abundantly available even during lockdown, whenever you go to the market, you see these two only 😀 so I prepared Thepla also often...which I did only once in a while before ....so sometimes with Methi only and sometimes dudhi / louki only and sometimes with both as per availability ☺️...so here's my Dudhi Methi Thepla. One of the family favourite too..the beauty of the Thepla is you can have anytime of the Day with anything. Had learnt how to make khakra and Thepla from a Gujrati friend during college days😀. Note: Gujarati Dry Lasun chutney is optional , as it's readily available here, otherwise I didn't use to add before. Sometimes I add the Red chilli stuffed pickle masala too.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Chop the Methi leaves, shift both the flours.

* Step 2

Peel and grate the dudhi/ louki / bottle gourd....don't grate the seedy part of the louki so you will end up getting only 50% of the bottle gourd.

* Step 3

Add all the masalas / spices, Methi/ fenugreek leaves and mix well then add the ghee and mix well.

* Step 4

Then add the grated bottle gourd and mix well. Now add water as required and knead it into a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

* Step 5

Heat the griddle/ tawa and take a small amount of dough (approx 70 gms) or less or more as per your desire and roll it out...like a roti and put it on the hot griddle/ tawa.

* Step 6

Flip the Thepla on both sides and cook it. Then apply ghee to and cook as you would cook a paratha. Serve it hot with chutney or anything you would love to have with. Bon Appetit!!!!
