We just arrived in India yesterday, and every time we travel, we pack theplas- and of course, some love to say, “Why not just eat what’s available?” But if you know, you know!
We travel for 24+ hours to get to India, and as vegetarians, food options can be limited. Plus, flight food isn’t great, and with twins, I need to have food prepped because kids don’t always eat what’s offered. Having these on hand makes life SO much easier!
Hit save and try these for your next trip! These come in so handy, not just during travel, but even after reaching your destination. When you’re jet-lagged, tired, and figuring out what to eat, these save the day!

Recipe:
Ingredients:
	•	2 cups whole wheat flour
	•	1/4 cup besan (gram flour)
	•	1 tsp turmeric powder
	•	1.5 tsp red chilli powder
	•	1.5 tsp coriander powder
	•	1.5 tbsp garlic-chilli paste
	•	Salt to taste
	•	1/2 tsp crushed carom seeds (ajwain)
	•	1 tbsp sesame seeds
	•	1.5 tbsp oil
	•	1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh methi leaves, chopped (or crush if frozen)
	•	1/3 cup yogurt
	•	Water as needed (1/2 to 3/4 cup)

Method:
	Mix flours, spices, garlic-chilli paste, salt, carom seeds, and sesame seeds. Add methi, yogurt, and oil; mix well. Knead into a smooth dough with water as needed. Divide into balls, roll into thin circles, and sprinkle sesame seeds. Cook on both sides with ghee or oil. 
Tips to keep Theplas fresh for longer : 
Let the theplas cool completely to prevent moisture buildup.
Place and wrap the Theplas in paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Wrap the stack of theplas tightly in silver foil.
For added protection, place the wrapped theplas in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag before storing. This will help maintain their freshness & prevent any external odors from affecting them.
Once you reach your destination store in the refrigerator if you plan to use them within a few days.
Enjoy!
