Thepla Recipe

Gujarat takes its food rather seriously, as is evident from their gigantic selection of farsaan (snacks). When sipping tea in Gujarat or with a Gujarati, prepare yourself for an elaborate snacking menu, which your taste buds will savor for ages.

Thepla too are an inherent part of this widely sing farsaan saga. The snack is a soft roti-like bread but spicier and a tad thicker. It involves the inherent wheat flour but with added chili powder, turmeric fennel seeds and asafetida. Follow this recipe to make some.
