Ah, I love these. When I was in Bangalore I stayed at the Saint Marks Hotel and every morning they had these wonderful things available for lunch. Man, I need some of these! I wish I had an Indian spice store within bicycle distance of me. ;)

FANTASTIC recipe just made it for breakfast and hubby loved it. Thankfully i had fresh Methi leaves and the dough turned out just the same. I have got a good reputation now because of you Manjulaji. Im so so soooo grateful. Thank you so much.

@cat2009cat it is methi...ferungeek leaves are known as methi in india.

[sanrimful]

@cat2009cat those leaves are called fenugreek leaves. These are available fresh in Indian grocery stores or if there are no fresh ones, then u can try looking for them which come in packets and are dry. To use the dry ones, u must soak in water for about 5-10 mins. The Indian name is "methi leaves" if that helps.

pardon me aunty for commenting on certain ingredients used as you are more senior and experienced cook than myself. However, being a Gujarati, this is a pancake that I always make. Instead of jeera, ajwain seeds are normally used, though optional. Yoghurt is also added and instead of chilli flakes, green chilli-ginger paste is used. Instead of chilli flakes, red chilli pdr can be used. Have never seen anyone using besan. I will try in the next time I make theplas to see how it tastes.
