Instructions To begin making the Gujarati Methi Thepla Recipe, in a large bowl combine the whole wheat flour, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, chilli powder, asafoetida powder, salt and fenugreek leaves.Add the yogurt to the flour mixture and knead into a firm smooth dough adding little water only if required. Finally add two tablespoons of oil to coat the dough and knead until it is firm and smooth.Cover and allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes. Preheat the iron skillet on medium heat. Divide the thepla dough into equal portions.Roll the thepla portions into balls; flatten them with the palm of your hand.Dust the thepla dough in flour and roll them out into thin circles to approximately 6 inches in diameter. As you roll them out, you can keep dusting the dough in dry flour to prevent sticking when rolling them out.Continue the same process of rolling the thepla dough out with the remaining balls. It is ideal when you can roll out the all portions of thepla dough before you start cooking them.
