Rajgira Theplas

Add the chilli powder, jeera powder and salt to the flour and make a firm dough. Add water if required. Make lemon-sized balls and roll each ball gently, like a chapati. Since rajgira flour doesn't have gluten, it will stick to the rolling pin, so use a lot of rajgira flour for dusting. Heat a non stick pan and cook the theplas on both sides. Then add a little ghee or oil and cook well. Serve with aloo sabzi (recipe above). *Recipe Courtesy: Tarla Dalal Title: Re: 14 Healthy And Delicious Faaral Recipes For Fasting Season Post by: shahrukh on August 31, 2015, 02:14:37 AM 9.
