Today's recipe is something similar to that of Methi Thepla. Thepla is made of wheat flour as main ingredient. But in my today's recipe I am taking besan / gram flour as main ingredient and adding very little wheat flour for binding. I will also be adding little kasuri methi along with freshly chopped methi leaves. Kasuri methi gives very nice flavor to any dish it is added.

Besan paratha is so delicious and with methi it is even more delicious and healthy as well. Looks perfect Sushma!
I like to combine flours to make rotis and this one sounds just something I would like.
I love methi thepla, using besan instead of wheat flour is really interesting. Will have to try it soon.
Well done. I am marveling at the fact that you could roll thin rotis with besan.
