Gujarati Thepla Masala Roti Recipe
Thepla or masala roti/paratha come people call it used to be one of regular lunch box during our school days and something of which we never get bore no matter how frequently it's made.  It's suitable for lunch box cause we can simply pair it up with any simple stir fry or even with pickle or curd.  Methi thepla is the popular thelpa recipe but when methi/fenugreek leaves not in season then this plain thepla comes handy and a good change from usual ajwain or plain paratha.


For me like most of the paratha I like to eat thepla dunk in tea and relish it that's the best combo for any time ever for dinner I like thepla with tea than any side dish as I make thepla mostly for dinner than for breakfast.

Theplas are very good for travelling as it stays good for 1-2 or even more days making it ideal for picnic or travel and it's very easy and quick to make. One of my ex-colleague lunch box every day used to be thepla mostly with mango pickle as thepla stays soft for long time and yes he used to be a Gujarati so it was not a surprise.

Notes
  • Curd/Yogurt helps to keep thepla soft for longer time so it's better to use it. If you run out of curd then just ignore it's fine too.
  • You can add 2-3 tbsp of besan/chickpeas flour too but that is done with methi thepla more than this plain version.
  • You can add chopped methi/fenugreek leaves to make it was methi thepla.
Have a nice day.
