Why methi thepla calorie numbers differ
Methi thepla is a Gujarati flatbread of atta with bajra, jowar and besan, fenugreek leaves, ginger, green chilli and curd, rolled thin and cooked on a tawa. Oil goes into the dough and again on the tawa, and some homes keep smearing it until the thepla turns glossy, so oil matters more than the flour mix. Theplas packed for travel are often fried crisper.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 36% of the calories in 1 methi thepla.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 36 g per methi thepla. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
