Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Dust a work surface with flour. Divide dough into 4 balls, flatten each to a thin disc about 1/8-inch thick.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Plate the warm thepla alongside the cooked aloo sabji and serve with a spoonful of green chili pickle on the side.
