The key to making soft thepla and tasty batata sabzi at home are
For batata sabzi
- if you are planning to make a dry variant, I would suggest chopping potato chips in bigger sizes. do not chop then fine.
- Instead of frying, you can pressure cook the potatoes separately and then use them in the recipe. I personally like the potatoes fried in oil.
- lastly, if you have left-over potato sabji you can use it to make paratha or even sandwich recipes.
For thepla
- saute dudhi (lauki) with oil and masala helps to remove moisture from it and increase the self-life of thepla.
- Thepla dough should be soft and smooth.
- thepla has to be cooked on medium to high flame and not on low flame. On low flame, the thepla would turn hard and brittle.
