  1. First time I have seen this style of making theplas. I Love your style - it makes the theplas an amazing colour. I just leave the methi leaves whole and use a mixture of wheat, chana and millet flour with the spices.

  12. Thankyou for all the recipes! I am a follower of your blog and the dishes which I have tried turned out great thanks to the simple but effective way you have explained it. I was born and brought up in Dubai and my husband in Rajkot.I am not a Gujarati and my exposure to Gujarati cuisine was limitied to the 'thali meals' we get in a limited number of gujarati restaurants over here. But with the help of your blog I was able to make various dishes my husband likes and he is very impressed!!!!
