Bethica Das's Moringa Leaf Thepla makes an ideal lunch box meal for kids or something to pack up and take while travelling. Relish it with chutney, pickle, yoghurt and green chillies.
Moringa, or the leaves of the drumstick tree, are a great source of vitamins, minerals, calcium, protein and iron and are apparently known to boost the immune system and fight inflammation as well.

Ingredients
Method
Note: For gluten-free theplas opt to replace the wheat flour with oat flour.
For vegan theplas, in the dough use vegan yoghurt, now made in India by a few brands.
To reduce the calories, opt to dry fry the theplas like chapattis and add a tiny bit of oil at the last stage.
To make a sweet mango chutney from scratch, you could try Maharaj Jodharam Choudhary's Kacche Aam Ki Launji.
