Thalipeeth is a traditional Maharashtrian flatbread made from a mix of flours and spices. Incorporating little millet into this recipe adds a nutritious twist, making it even healthier without compromising on taste.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup little millet flour
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1/4 cup sorghum flour (jowar)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/4 cup grated carrot
- 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
- Water, as needed
- Oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine little millet flour, rice flour, chickpea flour, and sorghum flour.
- Add finely chopped onions, grated carrot, chopped spinach, green chilies, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
- Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Gradually add water to form a soft, pliable dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Shape the Thalipeeth:
- Divide the dough into small balls.
- On a plastic sheet or banana leaf, flatten each ball into a round disc using your fingers, about 1/4 inch thick. Make a small hole in the center of each disc to allow even cooking.
- Cook the Thalipeeth:
- Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat and drizzle some oil on it.
- Place the flattened dough on the tawa and cook until golden brown and crisp on both sides, drizzling oil as needed.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Serve:
- Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney of your choice.
