Spinach and Avocado Thepla with Vaghareli Dahi
This Mother’s Day I had my mom teach me (and some of you guys) how to make spinach and avocado thepla and vaghareli dahi on my IG live! Thepla are Gujarati spiced flatbreads typically made with fenugreek leaves. My mom would forever stuff additional veggies, grains, and even leftovers into our thepla growing up. She’d […]
