About this recipe
Methi thelpa is a flavored flatbread made with whole wheat flour, fenugreek leaves, and spices. This unleavened bread can also be made using millet flour like bajra (pearl millet).
This popular Gujarati dish is typically eaten for breakfast and is also served for lunch. It is often carried in large quantities during traveling. It is very similar to methi paratha, although there are subtle differences in terms of the spices used.
Traditionally, fresh fenugreek leaves are used to make thepla. This recipe I am sharing here is the easy version of thepla made in Rotimatic. I am using Kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) here along with spices and atta (chapati flour/Indian whole wheat flour).
I have earlier shared my experience with Rotimatic and how to make masala roti in it. Here is my version of methi thepla made using kasuri methi. I love making theplas in Rotimatic and have always got perfect results. You can read more about Rotimatic on its website.
Read on for ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and useful tips to make thepla using Kasoori methi in Rotimatic.

Ingredients
Step-by-step instructions
Lightly crush the kasuri methi between your palms. Combine together flour, kasuri methi, salt, and powdered spices. Mix them well (steps 1,2).
Transfer the flour mixture to the Rotimatic container and place the container as per Rotimatic instructions. Fill water and oil in the containers and place them in Rotimatic (steps 3,4).
Select the flour and preferred settings for thickness, roast level, and oil. I am using Aashirvaad atta, thickness - 2, roast level - 2, and oil - 2 (step 5).
Press the start button. Rotimatic starts making the theplas (steps 6,7,8).
Perfect methi thepla made in Rotimatic.
Useful tips
Make sure to crush the Kasoori methi between your palms before using it. Also, remove any big dried pieces of stem that may be present.
Rotimatic comes with a list of specific flours to be used. I have used Aashirwaad atta; however, you may use your preferred brand from their list.
Make sure the mixing bowl and spatula/spoons used are clean and dry. There should not be any water or moisture in the flour container of Rotimatic.
Serve it with this aloo gobi and dal fry for a wholesome meal.
