METHI THEPLA (FENUGREEK LEAVES THEPLA)

Methi thepla  is made with methi leaves, gram flour, wheat flour and the masalas added in it.  It  is anytime snack, for lunch, breakfast or while travelling, it is handy.  

Since the fenugreek has got medicinal values and good for health, I always make this thepla or subzi out of the leaves when it is in season.  When it is out of season also you can make it with kasoori methi.  But I prefer the fresh tender leaves.  

Fenugreek or methi leaves are very rich in vitamins and minerals and they get easily absorbed by the body. Some major ingredients include calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and dietary fiber in its naturally occurring form as in other vegetables. The availability of vitamin K is as good as spinach. The protein rich fenugreek leaves can be treated as a wonder herb.
