Dudhi Palak Thepla
Dudhi is my son's favorite vegetable and we make so many dishes with it. We always have a Dudhi or Lauki in our fridge. I am sharing with you a filling and nutritious idea for thepla. The combination of Dudhi and Palak works really well together and these theplas will give you a wholesome feeling. It does not take long to make these and perfect way to hide the veggies. Eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I promise you will love these.
