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!

3 cup Jowar flour

2 Onion, medium sized, finely chopped

8 cloves Lahsun | Garlic, finely chopped | Optional

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.
