There are many different kinds of thepla recipes. But today’s recipe is Mooli thepla. It is traditionally Gujarati recipe. Theplas can be eaten as a breakfast with cup of tea or Mango Chunda or Pickles. Mooli is kind of vegetable that some people don’t like to eat. But when you make mooli thepla, it has not that intese mooli flavor. I also added leaves from mooli which is optional. So let’s get started.

I can have this anytime with some pickle..
Hey Kanan, loved this mooli thepla... we normally make mooli parathas 🙂 tht too often, loved by all at home and thepla i make from methi and lauki ...m going to try this out soon...
thats a healthy thepla. i always make theplas with methi and parathas with mooli... so typically indian of me. i would try making the thepla with moolis next time.
I think this is a better idea than making mooli stuffed parathas..sometimes we find difficulty in rolling them.
