Theplas based Roll
I woke up, reluctantly, at 6 am today, spent time pressing Gau's uniform, waking him up and still managed to get him out of the house at 6.50 am with a roti in his belly and complete, packed nutritious meal :) DH mocked me when I announced this at home. But seriously about 40 minutes to make and pack lunch is awesome no? Theplas are a kind of Gujarathi roti (flat bread). The dough is prepared exactly like roti, except for the addition of yogurt, chili powder, turmeric powder, hing and sometimes vegetables and/or greens. These Theplas have amazing staying power, and travel well. Paraphrasing they stay fresh for a long while, so good to take when you are travelling. I had made the dough for Methi Theplas yesterday, and I had also soaked chana (chickpeas) plannning on Roti, Chana for lunch. But at 6.15 I decided I lacked the time to chop lots of onions, tomatoes and garlic and still get the chickpeas cooked and ready. I made a paneer hummus instead....
