Bhajani Thalipeeth

Bhajani Thalipeeth

Ingredients

2 Cups Bhajani flour
1 finely chopped onion
2 finely chopped green chilies
1 Tbsp coriander leaves or handful
Salt to taste
1/2 spoon sesame seeds
Pinch of red chili powder
Pinch of haldi powder
Warm water for kneading
1 tsp oil
More oil to drizzle while cooking

Method

Take bhajani, add onions, chilies, coriander leaves, sesame seeds, salt to taste, red chili powder , haldi powder and 1 tsp oil.
Start kneading the mixture into a stiff yet pliable dough by adding little warm water at a time. Make small round balls from the dough. Set aside.
To flatten these balls into round breads, take plastic sheets and cut them in large squares .
Place the plastic sheet on the kitchen counter or chopping board and apply a little oil on top. Place the dough ball on it and using your palm start flattening the dough into a small round circle. (you may also apply some oil on your palm to avoid the dough to stick)
Once done, make a small hole in the center using your index finger.
Add about 1/2 tsp oil on the tawa and with the help of the plastic sheet pick up and place the thalippeth on the tawa/pan. (make sure your plastic doesn't touch the hot pan)
Drizzle a little oil in the center (hole) and a little on both the sides once, while cooking. Cook approximately for two minutes on medium  heat on either sides.
Serve hot with homemade butter,yogurt, ghee, pickle or tomato ketchup.
