Authentic Gujarati Plain Thepla

Authentic Gujarati Plain Thepla, are an inherent part of Gujarati cuisine. They do appear almost every other day in Gujarati kitchens, be it for breakfasts, lunch or travelling or picnics. If you love Gujarti cuisine then, try this thepla and see how you will begin to take fancy for it after enjoying Garma garam (hot) thepla accompanied with Pickle, Yougurt, Keri No Chundo , or Indian Masala Chai.

SADA THEPLA

Many of my readers have asked me to post an authentic Gujarati thepla recipe on JCO, so here it is, a must-try lightly spiced plain thepla recipe.

Although this thepla are made using basic spices, we still call them plain ( sada ) thepla as we are not using any kind of vegetables, greens, herbs or garlic and onion.

TIP TO MAKE BEST AND SOFT THEPLA

There are couple of things to keep in mind in making soft and delicious thepla.

Prepare dough with balanced spices and use yogurt to prepare soft dough, roll thepla thin and roast on high heat, by roasting them on a high heat thepla will stay soft and won't become crispy or chewy.

I asked my sister to share her thepla recipe as she prepares best thepla in our family.

On every visit to her place, I returned with a Dabba ( container ) full of her homemade special thepla.

Notes:-

You may add a 1 tsp of gram flour or besan while kneading the dough.
