Hello Blog members🙏🏻 Today am going to share an easy recipe of winter season.
Well all our nutritionists and dieticians say that we should eat the sesonal fruits and veggies. Here I am sharing with you two main vegetables of winter season which are methi( fenugreek leaves ) and radish ( mooli).
I am sharing the recipe of "Thepla".Theplas originated from Gujarat. Thepla are not same as chapati. Chapati is made by using wheat flour / atta. Theplas can be made multigrain. Theplas are the best travel companions as they will stay till 7 days if made in a correct way.

5.Now keep the dough aside for 15 mins. Apply oil on the dough as well so that it doesn't turn dry.
6.Start rolling the dough like chapati ( should be thin than chapati), You can even give shapes like triangle / square like a paratha.
7.Apply ghee / oil and flip it over like a paratha and bake it from both the sides well.
8.Our methi and mooli thepla is ready. Serve it with curd and pickle.
Note:
