Sabud Moong Palak

Thepla Recipe: Healthy Twist On Traditional Gujarati Thepla

This sabud moong palak thepla recipe gives a nutritious makeover to the traditional Gujarati favourite by blending wholesome ingredients like spinach and whole moong to create a deeply comforting thepla. Each thepla is packed with the familiar flavours of traditional spices, the nutritious earthiness of moong, and the vibrant freshness of spinach. These homemade flatbreads are irresistible thanks to the savoury fragrance of ginger, garlic, cumin, and sesame seeds as they cook on a hot tawa. Boiled whole moong and fresh palak add protein, fibre and iron content to the flatbread, making it a healthier choice for everyday meals. The secret to this healthy thepla recipe is the combination of ingredients. That's because the moong provides moisture to the theplas, the spinach provides freshness and colour, and the spices add warmth and depth to each bite. The end result is a delicious flatbread that remains soft and malleable for hours, ideal for meal prep, lunchboxes, or travelling. Serve these hot sabud moong palak theplas with chilled dahi, green chutney, garlic chutney or your preferred pickle. They are equally good at breakfast, as a quick lunch, a light dinner or as a satisfying snack with a cup of chai.
