Going green: Methi Theplas

I went grocery shopping in Grønland* with my friends yesterday, and bought some really fresh methi ( Fenugreek leaves) and fresh spinach. It was totally out of character. I don't eat a lot of greens, but writing on the blog made me wanted to extend my boundaries ( i.e. no potato for once:) .

Besides, there are these two recipes I always wanted to try. Here's the first

Methi thepla with tomato chutney and yoghurt

Woke up this Saturday to a clean kitchen. It was such a good feeling that it made me want to eat healthier. So as mentioned, I had some methi...

Ingredients:

For the dough
1. 1 cup Fresh methi leaves, washed and chopped
2. 1 cup regular flour
3. half a cup gram flour
4. Some red chilli and salt
5. Some water
6. One spoon yoghurt ( optional) and chopped green chilli ( optional)

To cook:
Mix all the ingredients listed for the dough, and knead until the dough is ready.
Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Roll out ( like a pizza base), try to get it as round and skinny as you can.
Heat on a pan on both sides until brown and crisp.
Brush a little oil on both sides while its on the pan to make it a little crisp.


For the chutney
1. 1 clove Garlic chopped
2. A handful of coriander leaves chopped
3. 1 tomato chopped
4. half a white onion chopped
5. Some cumin, salt, coriander powder and chilli powder
6. some oil

To cook:
Add all ingredients in a pan on high flame and stir until it turns in to a sauce ( takes 5 minutes!)

PS: I didn't have any pickle, that's why the quick fix chutney.

I was very pleased that something green can taste this delicious! This will be on the menu again :)
