Fenugreek leaf thepla with little oil
Fenugreek leaves, whole wheat flour and cumin make a thepla cooked with very little oil. Methi on the plate is supportive food. It is not a substitute for diabetes medicine.
Important: this remedy is only a supportive home measure. Keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed, monitor your readings, and consult your doctor before adding anything new.
About fenugreek leaf thepla
Wash and chop the fenugreek leaves, mix them into whole wheat flour with cumin, and knead a soft dough. Roll a thepla and cook it on a tawa with a few drops of oil, turning until it is done. It should taste like a meal bread, not like a fried snack.
One or two theplas with curd or sabzi can be a meal. Fenugreek here is a leaf in the dough, not a powder taken as a medicine. Do not change your diabetes doses because you ate methi.
