Method

Chop & wash the methi leaves very well as they have a lot of sand in them. Rinse them thoroughly.
Take a large mixing bowl and add the chopped methi leaves, grated paneer, whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, salt, hing, haldi powder, sesame seeds, achar masala, crushed green chillies & oil to it.
Mix everything well.
Add water little at a time and knead it well to make a soft dough.
Cover this dough with a damp cotton cloth or in an airtight container for ½ an hour.
After ½ an hour make small balls of the dough & roll the balls into very thin theplas with the help of a rolling pin.
Heat a tawa or griddle on the gas. Place the rolled thepla over it. Apply oil & cook it well on both the sides.
Serve the warm thepla with curd, pickle, jaggery or peanut chutney.

Notes

There are two secrets to a soft thepla. Don’t cook it for a long time on the tawa and make sure to apply oil properly.

Paneer has immense benefits. It is not only a wonderful source of protein but also helps strengthen bones and teeth. Paneer is great for heart health and even helps maintain blood sugar levels.
