Onion Thepla Recipe โ Thepla, also called dhebra, is a popular Gujarati flatbread. You can say that when North Indian paratha meets Gujarati cooking, it becomes thepla! It is made with a mixture of flours and chopped vegetables such as onion, carrot, and other veggies. Pan-fried and mildly spicy, this Onion Thepla is perfect for breakfast.
I love having my thepla with mixed pickle, but itโs totally up to you. You can enjoy it with curd, chutney, or even dal or gravy of your choice.
