Thepla is a Indian flat bread and most popular in Gujarat, India. Thepla tastes great if the dough is made perfect. We add little milk and yogurt to make the dough which makes the thepla soft. You can add any vegetable of your choice to the flour along with spices. I have tried Methi / Fenugreek leaves and cabbage earlier. They tasted awesome.

The mint thepla is a excellent variation from the methi Ines . We normally make parathas but great idea to make the plans .
I make theplas often with all sorts of veggies and leftover rice but have never thought of making them with mint. Will try soon.
I'm yet to try thepla varieties and i'm sure that this pudhina thelpa is more flavorful than regular thepla.
Mint flavor in theplas must be quite good. Will try it with parathas for sure
Adding mint to the theplas takes it to a new level, very nice one!
Make them so healthy and refreshing with Pudina in it:)Lovely share..
I add Lauki in my thepla. Generally I make them with fenugreek leaves or spinach. Never thought of trying them with mint leaves. Good recipe
