Step 1
Mix flour, methi leaves, ginger-chili paste, turmeric, salt, and yogurt in a bowl with 1 tbsp oil until a soft dough forms.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add diced potatoes and sauté until golden and tender, stirring often, 8–10 minutes.
Step 3
Dust a work surface with flour. Divide dough into 4 balls, flatten each to a thin disc about 1/8-inch thick.
Step 4
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in the skillet over medium-high. Fry each thepla 60–90 seconds per side until spots appear and edges curl.
Step 5
Plate the warm thepla alongside the cooked aloo sabji and serve with a spoonful of green chili pickle on the side.
