Rinse well and chop methi leaves (if using small variety of leaves then don't have to chop).
In a large bowl add wheat flour, gram flour, and all powdered spices, chili-ginger paste, salt, oil and methi leaves mix well to combine everything.
Add curd and knead a smooth dough.
Add 2-3 tbsp of water if required.
Methi leaves will leave water by itself so go slow on water.
Cover dough with a damp clean cloth and keep aside for 15-20 mins.
Add 1 tsp oil and knead again for a minute.
Divide the dough and make medium size balls.
Flatten it and dust with flour.
Roll this into thin disc or roti of a big size.
Now smear oil on the roti and dust with flour.
Now fold like a paper Japanese fan as shown in the pic.
Now make a round by rolling from one end towards inside and make a flat peda.
Don't press too much.
Make a roti again with slight pressure.
Heat a tawa (griddle) and place lachha thepla on it.
Flip thepla and apply oil or ghee.
Keep the flame low.
Now flip thepla again and apply oil/ghee.
Roast both sides until golden brown and thepla gets cooked.
Repeat same for rest of dough.
Serve your Crispy Lachha thepla with raita or plain curd or any Indian curry. Enjoy !!
