Theplas that is a Gujarati staple food. We make variety of theplas but on my last trip to India, I learned crushed methi theplas from my faiba. She made these theplas and I was amazed how delicious it tasted. I have always tried chopped methi theplas but when crushed it gives it a beautiful green color and it gives a different flavor. I have made it little more healthier by adding Bajra flavor. These are wholesome and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner. Enjoying these by themselves or with yogurt or pickle. They will last for a whole week once stored correctly.
