Discover The Secret to Perfect Thalipeeth: A Must Try Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup jowar (sorghum) flour
• 1/2 cup bajra (pearl millet) flour
• 1/2 cup rice flour
• 1/4 cup besan (gram flour)
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
• 1/4 cup grated carrots (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1-2 green chilies (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp red chili powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• Salt, to taste
• Water, as needed
• Oil or ghee, for cooking

Instructions

• Prepare the Dough:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the jowar, bajra, rice, wheat, and besan flours.
  • Add chopped onions, grated carrots (optional), cilantro, green chilies, cumin seeds, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.
  • Mix everything well so the vegetables and spices are evenly distributed through the flour.
• Knead the Dough:
  • Gradually add a little water at a time and knead the ingredients into a soft, pliable dough. The dough should not be too sticky or too dry.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Shape the Thalipeeth:
  • Take a small portion of dough (about the size of a golf ball).
  • On a clean surface or plastic sheet, flatten the dough ball using your fingers, spreading it out to form a circular, thin disc (about 1/4 inch thick).
  • Make a few small holes in the center and sides of the Thalipeeth to allow for even cooking.
• Cook the Thalipeeth:
  • Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  • Grease it with a little oil or ghee.
  • Place the flattened Thalipeeth onto the hot skillet and add a few drops of oil or ghee around the edges and in the holes.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until it turns golden brown and slightly crisp.
• Repeat the Process:
  • Repeat the process for the remaining dough, making and cooking Thalipeeth one at a time.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
• Serve:
  • Serve hot Thalipeeth with fresh yogurt, butter, or spicy chutney on the side.

Tips

• Add More Vegetables: You can add grated zucchini, radish, or finely chopped spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
• Control the Heat: Keep the heat at medium to ensure the Thalipeeth cooks evenly without burning.
• Alternative Method: If shaping directly on the skillet is difficult, shape it on a plastic sheet and carefully transfer it to the skillet.

Enjoy your Thalipeeth fresh and warm, a perfect healthy and tasty option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
