  1. Thats the very authentic gujju thepla. :) Look nice Soumya. :)

    Sometimes I add 2-3 tsp of besan to make it softer and add 2-3 tsp of curd while making the dough. Turns our to be really soft. :)

  11. You have read my mind. Methi Parata tastes best with with spicy pickles and thick yogurt at the side

    During travelling, we carry Methi Thepala's which last for 2 / 3 days
