Chef's Notes
Do not rush the resting period of the dough. Allowing the wheat to hydrate properly ensures your theplas stay pliable and soft instead of turning into leather shields for your dining table.
Pro Tip
If your fenugreek leaves have an aggressive bitter streak, sprinkle a pinch of salt over the chopped leaves and let them sweat for ten minutes before squeezing out the excess moisture.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping your rolled dough onto an uncleaned countertop covered in rogue spice dust, turning your delicate green flatbread into an accidental fire hazard of burnt paprika.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
My Jester says these are called 'Theplas' because you spend more time 'thep-ling' (slapping) the dough than actually eating it!
The Culinary Science
Yogurt contains lactic acid which weakens the gluten strands in the wheat flour slightly, preventing the dough from becoming too rubbery and ensuring a tender bite.
