Jowar Kanda Thalipeeth | Jowar Onion Flatbread

Our local Chakki wala agreed to grind whole Jowar to fine smooth flour! Nothing like it! We got about 4 kgs of Jowar and got this ground to a smooth flour. As I brought this from the Chakki, I could feel the sweet smell of the warm Jowar Flour! After reaching home couldn't resist to have a little spoonful of this flour and it tasted heavenly!

Nothing like freshly ground flour and thalipeeth that we made today is from this fresh flour! So it tasted simply wonderful!

INGREDIENTS

3 cup Jowar flour

2 Onion, medium sized, finely chopped

8 cloves Lahsun | Garlic, finely chopped | Optional

2 Green Mirchi | Chilli, finely chopped

1 tblsp Fresh Dhania | Coriander Leaves

To taste Salt

For Making Thalipeeth
2 Plastic Sheets
Oil

METHOD

In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients except oil and mix well. This time we did not add any garlic.
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 8 portions of the dough.
With a tissue paper | cloth, smear little oil on plastic sheet's surface.
Place one portion of the dough and gently pat to make a circle of about 4" diameter. he thalipeeth should be approximately 1/2 cm thick.
Place the roti tava on the gas and let the tava get hot. Once it is hot, reduce the flame to medium.
Gently transfer the thalipeeth from the plastic sheet to the hot tava.

After 2 minutes, flip the thalipeeth to the other side.
After 2 minutes flip it to the first side and flip it again to the second side after 1 minute.
Thalipeeth is cooked and has slight golden brown spots on its surface.
Jowar Onion Thalipeeth can be served with Curd | Pickles | Homemade Butter | Tomato Ketchup.
