Ingredients:

For the Thalipeeth Dough:

• 1 cup jowar (sorghum) flour
• 1/2 cup besan (gram flour)
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 1/4 cup bajra (pearl millet) flour
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
• 1/4 cup grated bottle gourd (lauki)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
• Salt to taste
• Water, as needed
• Oil, for cooking

For Garnish:

• Chopped fresh coriander leaves

Method:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine jowar flour, besan, rice flour, bajra flour, whole wheat flour, grated bottle gourd, chopped onions, green chilies, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, asafoetida, and salt.
2. Gradually add water to the mixture and knead it into a soft, pliable dough. The water should be just enough to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
4. Take a clean, damp cloth or plastic sheet and place one dough ball in the center. Pat it with your fingers to flatten it into a round, flat disc, shaping it into a thalipeeth. Make a hole in the center of the thalipeeth to help it cook evenly.
5. Heat a non-stick griddle or tava over medium heat. Place the shaped thalipeeth on the hot griddle.
6. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the thalipeeth and cook until the bottom is golden brown.
7. Carefully flip the thalipeeth and cook the other side until it’s crispy and cooked through.
8. Repeat the same process for the remaining dough portions.
9. Serve the Thalipeeth hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.

Tips:

• You can customize the flours used in the dough according to your preference and availability.
• For added flavor, you can add ingredients like grated carrots, spinach, or fenugreek leaves to the dough.
• Serve Thalipeeth with yogurt, green chutney, or pickle for a complete meal.

Thalipeeth is a wholesome and flavorful flatbread that’s not only nutritious but also a delicious addition to your breakfast or snack menu. Enjoy its unique blend of flours and spices!
