Equipment

  • Flat Tray
  • Tava / Skillet
  • Knife and Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Sorghum Flour Jowar Atta / Jolada Hittu
  • 1 cup Pearl Millet flour Bajra Atta / Sajje Hittu
  • 1/2 cup Gram flour Besan / Kadalehittu
  • 1/2 cup Finger Millet Flour ragi / nachni Atta
  • 1/2 tsp carrom seeds Ajwain / Omkaalu
  • 1 cup Chopped fenugreek leaves methi leaves / fresh methi
  • 1/2 cup radish grated, optional but recommended
  • 2 TBSP coriander leaves
  • 3 tsp roasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup carrot grated
  • 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garam Masala powder optional
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 cup hot Water for kneading, might need more
  • 1 tsp red chilli flakes sub with green chillies too
  • 2 TBSP Oil plus 4 TBSP more to make the Thalipeeth

Instructions
 

  • In a large plate (paraath / large bowl), sift all the 4 flours evenly
  • Add salt, chilli flakes (or chillies if using), salt, turmeric, mix well.
  • Add the grated radish, carrots, chopped methi leaves and mix well without adding any additional water.
  • If using onions / garlic, see notes.
  • Leave it for 2-3 mins, the veggies will release water.
  • Now add the rest of the spices and sprinkle hot water and knead to a semi soft dough. In case you are using wholewheat flour too, see notes below.
  • The quantity of water will depend on the quality and quantity of the flour.
  • In case you find the mixture too dry, add water little by little and knead into a not-too-stiff dough. Add oil (1 - 2 tbsp) to coat the dough and ensure its not too sticky.
  • Cover and rest the dough for atleast 25-30 minutes. As this is a gluten free flatbread, the dough will need to rest mandatorily.
  • After 30 mins, Make 12 equal portions of the dough and keep them covered..
  • On the rolling board, spread a slightly wet handkerchief (or very thin kitchen towel) and take each portion of the dough and spread with your fingers till about 4 - 6 inch in diameter. I used a food-safe transfer sheet like Holige Paper. You can also pat it thin on a parchment paper
  • Pat the thalipeeth thick or thin as you wish. and make 2 - 3 holes on the roti to ensure quicker and even cooking.
  • Sprinkle roasted sesame seeds and pat it on the thalipeeth
  • Overturn the kitchen hanky / parchment over the hot tawa . If using parchment or Holige paper, wait for a bit and then slowly peel.
  • Drizzle oil (about 1 tsp) into the holes as well as the outer periphery. Cook on medium heat.
  • Once roasted brown (about 2 mins), flip and cook on the other side.
  • Serve hot with butter or curd or even mango pickle.
  • We served it with some salad and Railway Aloo ki Sabji Onion-garlic free) for a completely Gluten free, vegan and Satvik meal.

Notes

  • Use as minimal water for the dough as possible.
  • Ensure the flours are sieved well to give an even flavour
  • You can add any more veggies like shredded cabbage, spinach (or any radish greens) and green chillies and onion / garlic
  • Some variations of thalipeeth add roasted coriander and cumin powder- but I didnt add any.
  • If using onions, make sure to chop it fine and knead it to the flour mix before adding water.
  • If using Wholewheat flour, the dish wont be gluten free, but may require slightly less / more hot water
  • Use hot water if using only millets, else the dough will not bind.
  • Resting time is cruciai to pat the thalipeeth evenly
  • Patting the dough flat on the cloth is optional, you can do it directly on the tava. But the wet kitchen towel (preferably muslin cloth) gives great results as does this Holige sheet. / parchment paper. Your best bet howver is a banana leaf
