Thalipeeth

INGREDIENTS

🧺 For Thalipeeth Dough:

• 1 cup bhajani flour (traditional thalipeeth flour – see note below)
• 1 medium onion – finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh coriander – chopped
• 1–2 green chilies – finely chopped
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• ¼ tsp turmeric powder
• ½ tsp red chili powder
• Salt – to taste
• Water – as needed
• Oil or ghee – for roasting

Recipe

1️⃣ Make the Dough:

- In a mixing bowl, add flours (or bhajani) + spices + chopped onions, coriander, green chilies, and salt.

- Mix well.

- Add water little by little to form a soft, pliable dough (slightly sticky is okay).

- 💡 You can also knead in some grated lauki (bottle gourd) or carrot for a veggie boost!

2️⃣ Shape the Thalipeeth:

- Traditional way: Take a small ball of dough.

- Wet a plastic sheet or banana leaf, place dough ball on it.

Flatten it using wet fingers into a thin circle with little holes in the center

- Modern hack: Flatten directly on a greased pan or tawa with wet hands.

3️⃣ Cook the Thalipeeth:

- Heat a tawa (preferably cast iron).

- Drizzle a little oil/ghee.

- Place the flattened thalipeeth on it.

- Cook on medium heat until crisp and golden on both sides.

- Add a bit of ghee or butter on top before serving.
