Jowar Oats Wheat Bran Thalipeeth - A healthy flatbread

Thalipeeth is a traditional Maharashtrian breakfast option. We added this to our reportire of breakfast options thanks to Maharashtrian friends. There are many varieties of Thalipeeth like Bajra, Ragi, Mixed Millets, Sabudana|Sago...and today for breakfast we made it with a slight twist - adding Germinated Wheat Bran & Oats with Jowar flour.

A very filling breakfast..can be had as a Brunch Option!

INGREDIENTS

4 tblsp Jowar flour
1 tblsp Oats
1 tblsp Germinated Wheat Bran
1 Onion, medium sized, finely chopped
1 Tomato, small, de-seeded, finely chopped
1/4 " Adrak | Ginger, finely chopped
1/2 tsp Green Mirchi | Chilli, finely chopped
1 tblsp Spring Onion Leaves
1 tblsp Fresh Dhania | Coriander Leaves
1 tsp Til | Sesame seeds, roasted
1 pinch Hing | Asofoetida Powder
Oil for Thalipeeth
To taste Salt

METHOD

In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients and mix well.
Incorporate water, little by little, while gently kneading at the same time to make a dough which is softer than the phulka roti dough. Make 6 portions of the dough.
Place the roti tava on the gas and let the tava get hot. Once it is hot, reduce the flame to medium.
With a tissue paper | cloth, smear little oil on the tava's surface.
Take one portion and place it on the tava and gently pat to make a circle of about 4 ' diameter. Take care not to burn the finger on the tava. The thalipeeth should be approximately 1/2 cm thick.
Drizzle very little oil around the sides of the thalipeeth.
After 2 minutes, flip the thalipeeth to the other side and make 2 to 3 gentle scores on the surface so that the thalipeeth cooks well. Drizzle very little oil around this side as well.
After 2 minutes flip it to the first side and flip it again to the second side after 1 minute.
The Thalipeeth is cooked and has slight brown spots on its surface.
The thalipeeth can be served with curd | pickles | homemade butter | tomato ketchup.

Today we served this highly nutritious Jowar Oats Wheat Bran Thalipeeth with curd and Mango Thokku Pickle. Just for aesthetics, I put a little bit of homemade white butter and a tender coriander leaf on top of the thalipeeth!!
