Gujarati Aloo Thepla dhebra Recipe

Today's recipe is all way from Gujarat. Thepla/Dhebra is one of the most common breakfast or snack recipe in Gujarat.Making of Thepla is quite easy and is made with a mixture of flours,spices, yogurt and shredded vegetables. 

We can tell that Thepla's and Paratha's are sister but much simpler than paratha. Usually paratha's are suffed flatbreads and thepla's are thin n light flatbreads. And in thepla's we use yogurt for making the dough and in parathas water is used to form a dough.

I made this recipe as part of shhh cooking secretly challenge and my partner for this month is Vidya Narayan from MasalaChilli .Check out her blog for some interesting recipes. She gave me Potato and Garlic as secret Ingredients and i came up with yummy aloo thepla. Check out the ingredients and steps below.
