ABOUT Green Garlic and Flax-Seeds Thepla RECIPE

Theplas belong to the Gujarati cuisine of India and are usually made with Methi leaves (Fenugreek leaves) which is also a winter delicacy but I thought of using garlic greens and further addition of flax seeds instead of regular sesame seeds or carom seeds to increase the nutrition value of the dish.
