   Method:
  1.Mix all the ingredients except water.
  2.Knead a dough by adding a little water or curd as the methi leaves leave water and if you are not careful
   while adding water the dough may become sticky still if it is sticky you can add wheat flour.
  3.Keep the dough aside for 15-20 minutes covered with a kitchen towel.
  4.Make medium sized balls from the dough.
  5.Roll each ball thinly into flat discs of 6-7" in diameter.
  6.Heat a frying pan or tava and place thepla on it.
  7. Apply oil on both its sides, press gently with a ladle and cook until it turns brown from both the sides.
  8.Once the thepla is cooked as well as browned, remove from the pan.
  9.Make all the theplas this way.
  10.Stack them up and keep in a roti basket or in covered in a kitchen napkin.
  11.Serve methi theplas with mango or lime pickles, or potato sabzi or you can just have them plain with tea.
