Methi Thepla

Methi Thepla is a typical Gujarati dish served for the breakfast. These are chapatis/paratha made with the fenugreek leaves. Along with the wheat flour they usually use Gram flour even though it's not compulsory, Gram flour is one thing you can say is always a must in Gujarati dishes. There are many ways of preparing thepla. Even though raw fenugreek is mixed with the flour, I usually fry the fenugreek prepare a sabzi out of it so that all the bitterness of fenugreek is reduced and then mix it with the flour. I have already posted the recipe for Palak thepla, this recipe is similar to it. You can also view some of other methi recipes

Instant Dhokla

Dhokla!!! is one of my favorite since childhood. I remember when we used to go to Sangli a place in Maharashtra for Diwali shopping my mom used to buy it for us. It was just for Rs.3  a packet with 6-7 small Dhokla's with fried Mirchi. It used to taste awesome, in fact its still available now. might the prize is increased to 10 or so. That was "The Dhokla" taste that I ever have in my mind. If we google now, there are many ways of preparing it! using Rava (Semolina), curd, etc etc.. The one that I prepare is using very minimal number of ingredients, its instant and all you need is Besan peeth (Gram flour) and a Eno packet as main ingredients, the rest of all are available in every kitchen.  I haven't tried the Dhokla yet with Semolina or with curd, will surely try someday :). Here is the procedure on how preparing this simple instant "Dhokla".
