Instructions:

1. Mix the Dough
   In a mixing bowl, combine wheat flour, chopped methi, all the spices, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and yogurt. Add a drizzle of oil and mix well.

2. Knead
   Add water gradually and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes.

   Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each into a thin, round flatbread using a rolling pin. Dust with flour as needed.

4. Cook the Thepla
   Heat a tawa or skillet. Cook the thepla on both sides until golden brown spots appear, brushing with a little oil or ghee on each side.

5. Serve Hot
   Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or even a cup of chai!
