ThaliPeeth ( Mix flour flatbread)

Ingredients :


  • Jowar flour - 3 cups
  • Wheat flour - 1 cup
  • Besan - 1 cup
  • Rice flour - 1 cup
  • Garlic cloves - 4-5
  • Onion - 1
  • Salt
  • Red chilli powder - 2-3 tsps
  • Oil
  • Coriander leaves- 4-5 tsps
  • Ajwain / Carom seeds- 1 tsp
  • Water

Procedure :

  • Mix all the flours, salt, red chilli powder(2 tsps), ajwain, 2 tsps oil and  coriander leaves.
  • Chop onion and add to the flours.
  • Smash/Crush garlic cloves and add to the flours.
  • Finally add some water and start making a dough. 
  • The dough should be very soft and loose. We will be rolling/spreading it with our palms, later !
  • Check taste and adjust salt, red chilli powder, knead the dough once again and finally set the dough aside for 10 minutes.
  • On a pan, pour a few drops of oil and place a circular ball of the dough in the center of the pan.
  • Wet your palm in cold water and start pressing dough with your palm in order to spread it in the form of a circle.
  • Wet your palm using cold water frequently while patting/pressing the dough. The water makes it easy to spread.
  • The thalipeeth/ flat bread should not be too thin, else it becomes crispy. It should not be too thick as well, else it doesn't cook properly and we can taste the raw flours.
  • So spread the dough appropriately to a proper thickness like parathas.
  • Finally, after spreading the dough, makes random holes in it using your finger. Drop oil in these holes and along the edges of the thalipeeth.
  • Turn on the heat and cook this thalipeeth covered with a lid for 3-4 minutes. 
  • Once the thalipeeth is cooked, it changes color. Now pour some drops of oil on the top, flip it, and cook the other side without covering with a lid.
  • Finally apply Ghee on the top and serve hot with Yogurt and pickle !
  • This is one of the weight watcher's recipes :)..
