God bless you dear! I am glad you liked this recipe. I love to hear from people of your generation -- because I try so hard to adapt even traditional recipes to suit current lifestyles and health concerns. So, when I hear from youngsters like you, I feel so happy and want to keep uploading more and more recipes.

Coming here from India Food Network dear Tarla Ji, the texture of a Thepla at IFN shows a consistency and color similar to corn tortillas made with yellow corn, but now I understand why they are this color, you add turmeric and red chili powder, totally worth making this recipe, being Mexican I bet these Thepla would be very tasty with fresh-cooked pinto beans and/or cooked Nopales(Prickly Pear pad)! Thanks for sharing, 👍and greetings👋 for your family and you Tarla Ji! 🤠

[einsteinwallah]

tarla dalal looks distinctly tired in this ... i sensed that she was having breathing difficulty ... she was obsessed with learning vegetarian recipes from across world and teaching them ... she changed vegetarian cookery in india forever and also gave vegetarian cookery a place of respectability and pride to it in world with her first book

[Learnwitheramm]
