This is a very popular tasty Gujarati flatbread made of wholewheat flour and fresh fenugreek leaves with other exciting spices to make this a very anytime kind of snack.

I practically grew up on this as some years of my childhood were spent in Rajkot and we had so many Gujju dishes in our daily menu.My mother never tired of making theplas everyday and those days I remember having this more than biscuits which was a rare treat for us. Our lunch boxes would have theplas and parathas every other day and the accompaniments like chundo,gorkeri and limdo achaar ,boondhi raita,jeera rice,dhoklas,khammam are some of the tastiest foods we lived on.

This is a popular anytime snack with both kids and adults alike and an excellent travel food to carry with pickles.
