thepla for travel | thepla without cuds for travel | methi thepla good for 15 days | with 25 amazing images Nothing like theplas to carry along on a journey. Not only are methi theplas very tasty with the superb flavour and aroma of methi, they are also satiating and convenient. To make these methi thepla good for 15 days we have used a whole wheat flour dough with a large assortment of taste-giving ingredients ranging from green chilli paste and spice powders to sesame seeds. However, we have not used curds, in order to increase the shelf life of thepla for travel. You also need to make sure you add lots of oil while cooking; otherwise methi theplas will become dry and spoil soon. When made as per the instructions, the Theplas will stay fresh in the fridge for almost 15 days. When you anticipate a busy fortnight, you can make a large batch and keep thepla without cuds for travel in stock. Just take them out when you want a nice meal, warm them slightly on a tava and enjoy with curds and pickles . You can also try other variants of theplas like Zucchini Thepla , Mooli Thepla or Doodhi Theplas.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q. I am going to abroad for 15 days, i have no idea whether the hotel has a refridegrator. How long can the Thepla stay withoutrefridegrator?1. Make theplas using the above recipe just a few hours before leaving for your travel tour. Cool the theplas very well.2. Even if there is slight warmth remaining in the theplas, then the chances of them getting spoilt are very high. At the same time also ensure that you do not leave them for more hours to cool down, else the edges of the theplas will turn crisp.3. Once the theplas have been cooled enough, pack them only in aluminium foil, ensure that the theplas are very well sealed.4.

Can we make the dough in advance , refrigerate and use later?

Tarla Dalal    Yes you can.

Tarla Dalal    There are 2 options. When methi leaves are in season, you can dry them in sun for 1 to 2 days and then refrigerate it in a ziplock bag till further use. Alternatively, you can use small quantities of dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi).

Tarla Dalal    Dear ShilpaHere are some pointers for you.Firstly ensure that you avoid the use of completely while kneading the dough of thepla as mentioned in this recipe.Secondly make theplas using the above recipe just a few hours before leaving for your travel tour. Cool the theplas very well. Even if there is slight warmth remaining in the theplas, then the chances of them getting spoilt easily are very high.At the same time also ensure that you do not leave them for more hours to cool down, else the edges of the theplas will turn crisp.Once the theplas have been cooled enough, pack them only in aluminium foil in such a way that the theplas are very well sealed.Pack only a few theplas in a foil at a time, so you finish all the theplas once you have opened the foil. Try and avoid packing too many theplas in a foil that you cannot finish at a go. Theplas packed in foil and re-packed have decrease shelf life.These pointers will increase the shelf-life of theplas at room temperature only in cold weather where the temperature is low.
