Recipe
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jowar flour, bajra flour, whole wheat flour, and gram flour.
2
Add the finely chopped onion, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, fresh coriander leaves, cumin-coriander powder, turmeric powder, carom seeds, and salt.
3
Gradually pour in warm water and knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough.
4
Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into smooth balls.
5
Place a damp muslin cloth or a piece of plastic sheet on a flat surface, take one dough ball, and pat it gently using wet fingers into a flat, round disc of medium thickness.
6
Heat a tawa (griddle) over medium heat and grease it lightly with a little ghee.
7
Carefully transfer the flattened thalpeeth onto the hot tawa and make a small hole in the center.
8
Drizzle a few drops of ghee into the center hole and around the edges.
9
Cover and cook on medium heat until the underside turns golden brown, then flip and cook the other side similarly until crisp and cooked through.
10
Repeat the process for the remaining dough portions and serve hot alongside bowls of spiced buttermilk.
