Methi Thepla (Methi na Thepla) is a Gujarati flatbread, which can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner as well as snacks.

Aloo Paratha
Does Aloo Paratha need any introduction? It is one of the most popular snacks in India. And if I’m not wrong, you can find Aloo Parathas in pretty much all parts of India. Many restaurants serve Parathas for breakfast, tea as well as lunch/dinner. Also, this delicacy doesn’t require a lot of time to prepare…

I know it’s an odd combination, but…
Thecha
Having spent years in Maharashtra, I am yet to come across an accompaniment or side dish that is as spicy as Thecha. I think it has to be the spiciest thing you’ll ever find in Maharashtrian cuisine. For those who don’t know, Thecha is a traditional Maharashtrian Chutney. It is prepared using Green Chilies, Green…
Thalipeeth
Thalipeeth is one of my favorite flatbreads in the world! This Maharashtrian flatbread tastes so good that I think every household should include it in its breakfast menus. As for the taste, it has its own peculiar taste. It may look like a Gujarati Thepla, but I think it wouldn’t be fair to compare this…
Khaman Dhokla
When you talk about Mumbai’s food culture, you can’t forget the Gujarat special Khaman Dhokla! The Gujarati community, which has been an integral part of this city’s history, has popularized this snack in the city and suburbs. And today, you can find Khaman in pretty much all snack shops that sell Vada Pavs and Samosas….
