Take a ball, flatten it, dust it with wheat flour and roll it out using the rolling pin just as you do for chapati. Do not roll it out too thin as the thepla will become hard after cooking. The rolled out dough should neither be too thick nor too thin.

Heat a tawa, place the rolled out dough on the tawa. When you find bubbles on the surface, flip it over to the other side. Cook both sides until golden speck appear.

Apply a tsp of ghee all over the thepla and remove from heat. This will help the theplas to remain soft even hours later.

      Actually just yogurt or pickle is enough for this. But if preferred, any tomato based gravy will go well with this.Check more than 125 side dishes for chapati and parathas
