Jowar Flour Thalipeeth in Marathi

Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 2-3 medium thalipeeth

Ingredients:
1 cup Jowar Flour
1 cup water
1 big onion, julienne (thin vertical slices)
1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp hing, 1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp green chili paste
2-3 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
Oil
Salt to taste

Method:
1) Heat the water. Add salt, cumin, hing, and turmeric. Check the taste, it should be slightly salty. When water starts bubbling, turn off the flame, add flour and mix. Cover and keep it aside for 10 minutes.
2) After 10 minutes, knead the dough. Add chili paste, onion, and cilantro while kneading. You may sprinkle little water to make the dough pliable. Divide the dough into big portions (approx size of a tennis ball)
3) Take 2 thick plastic sheets. Grease them from inside. Place the ball in between. Press and spread evenly or you may roll it with rolling pin. Poke at 2-3 places to make space for drizzling oil.
4) Heat nonstick tawa and drizzle little oil. Put the thalipeeth on it. Turn heat to low. Cover and cook for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid and increase the flame slightly. Drizzle some oil around. Flip and cook the other side too.
Serve hot with yogurt or homemade butter.
