Ingredients
2 cups Amaranth Flour (Rajgira)
2 medium Potato (boiled & mashed)
2 Green Chilli (chopped)
1 tsp Ginger (crushed)
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
Fresh Coriander
Rock Salt
Groundnut Oil
as needed Water
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rajgira flour, mashed potatoes, chopped green chilies, ginger paste, cumin seeds, coriander, and rock salt.
2
Mix well so the moisture from the potatoes binds with the flour. Add a teaspoon of ghee and very little water only if necessary to form a smooth, firm dough. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
3
Divide the dough into equal-sized small balls.
4
Dust a rolling board with a little dry rajgira flour. Gently roll out each ball into a medium-sized circle.
5
Since Rajgira is gluten-free, you can also press the dough between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic to prevent breaking.
6
Heat a tawa (griddle) on medium heat. Place the thepla on it and cook until small bubbles appear.
7
Flip it over, apply a little ghee or oil on both sides, and press gently with a spatula.
8
Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides. Serve hot with curd or vrat-style potato curry.
