2. Knead The Dough

Gradually add water little by little and knead the mixture into a smooth and pliable dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.

4. Roll Out The Theplas

Take one dough ball, dust it with some flour, and roll it out into a thin, round disc using a rolling pin. Aim for a thickness similar to that of a tortilla or slightly thinner.

6. Cook Both Sides

After a few seconds, you'll notice small bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the thepla and apply a little oil or ghee on the cooked side.
