Thepla Wrap


I know i know, sounds deadly, like any other gujju dish. But this is a very healthy and nutritious snack/lite lunch dishes, at the same time very flavorful. Perfect dish to make in advance and can be a very good 'take to work' lunch. I highly recommend this dish for those who don't like to compromise on the taste while counting calories.

Yields: 5-6 wraps

Ingredients: For Thepla -


1 c. Wheat Flour
1 tsp. Red chilly powder
1 tsp. Coriander powder
1 tsp. Cumin powder
1 tsp. Salt

For Paste:
1/2 bunch spinach blanched (almost all the water wringed out)
2-3 cloves Garlic minced
1/2 small Red Onion chopped
1 medium Tomato chopped

For Stuffing:

2 medium Carrots grated
very small Cabbage grated
2 green chillies finely chopped
2 tbsp. oil
1 tbsp. cumin n mustard

Blend all the ingredients for the paste together and keep aside. Mix together the flour, salt, coriander cumin powder, and red chilly powder. Add the paste to this mixture little by little and start kneading. DO NOT ADD WATER. Put as much paste as needed, and form a dough, just like you would for a Roti. Keep covered.

Heat oil in a skillet and add the cumin n mustard when hot. Add green chillies, grated carrots and cabbage, saute for 2 min. The stuffing is ready.

Roll the theplas and cook on a griddle, until it has a few brown spots.
Put stuffing in each thepla and enjoy with salted dahi(Yogurt).

Shaunak loved these even for dinner, though he is not really a big fan of theplas.

Let me know how you liked them,
