Thalipeeth
A multigrain flatbread with the vegetables mixed into the dough. One thing to cook, not two.
Ingredients
- 1 cup jowar or bajra flour
- 1/2 cup besan
- 1/2 cup atta
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup coriander, chopped
- 2 green chillies
- 1 tsp ajwain
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- Oil
Method
- Mix all the flours with the onion, coriander, chillies and spices, then add water slowly. Soft dough, no resting needed.
- Take a ball, flatten it directly on a greased sheet of plastic or banana leaf with wet fingers. It's too fragile to roll.
- Make a hole in the centre with your thumb — that's where the oil goes and how the middle cooks.
- Flip it onto a hot tawa, peel the plastic off.
- Oil around the edges and in the hole. Cover, 3 minutes, flip, 2 more.
- White butter, curd, or thecha.
