5. Methi Thepla

This is one of the most popular Gujarati delicacies. Theplas generally resemble rotis but are packed with more flavour. Methi thepla is a healthy classic made with a regular atta (whole wheat flour) base that is mixed with spices, fenugreek leaves, yoghurt and other ingredients. You can relish it plain or with some dry garlic (lehsun) chutney or hari chutney. Some people also enjoy scooping up their aloo sabzi or other vegetable preparations with theplas.

Another methi delicacy, dhebra is a must-try too. Unlike thepla, dhebra is deep-fried or pan-fried (not roasted) and mainly uses jowar flour (rather than regular atta only). It also contains a hint of jaggery, which complements the other flavours very well. The next time you're looking for a unique snack, opt for Gujarati dhebra. Find the full recipe here.
