Methi na Thepla

I remember the dialog from the movie '3idiots', " Ye Gujrathi dishes ke naam itne ajib kyo hote hain , 'Fafda', 'debra', 'Handvo','thepla'…bla bla….". But boss Gujju food is Gujju food. I just love it. Most favorite and frequently prepare in my house is "Methi na thepla' . There are other varieties also like palak, dudhi. But I like methi one the most. Somebody who don't know, I want to tell something that is Methi paratha tastes different than thepla. It has it's own Gujju taste.
