Roll the dough to a round thepla of about 5 to 6 inches in diameter.

Place the rolled thepla on a hot tawa and begin to cook until you see faint air pockets on the top.

Flip the methi thepla using a spatula.

Spread some oil lightly on the top side of the methi thepla.

Flip the methi thepla again, when the second side is half-cooked.

Spread some oil on this side too.

Flip back and forth a couple of times, until the methi thepla becomes golden brown with even, slightly darker brown spots.

You can press the methi thepla with a spatula to get an even cook, if needed.

If you plan to serve methi thepla after a few hours, add more oil to keep it soft. If not, then add less oil.

Serve methi thepla hot with a raita. For more recipes, visit vegrecipesofindia.com
