How to Make Cucumber Thalipeeth
HideShow Media1.
In a bowl, mix all the different types of flour and the masalas listed above. Add salt and sugar.
2.
Add the grated cucumber, chillies, onion, garlic, and coriander leaves. Combine well to form a thick dough. The water from the cucumber will help bind the dough. You may add extra water as required to get a firm texture.
3.
Cover the dough with moist muslin cloth and set it aside for 10 minutes.
4.
Later, break small pieces of the dough and shape them into balls. Roll and flatten the balls on a surface covered with parchment paper or slightly moist muslin cloth.
5.
You can use your palms to flatten them. Take care not to make them too thin.
6.
Heat 1 tsp oil or ghee in a pan/ tawa for roasting the thalipeeth. Carefully lift the paper/ cloth and flip to transfer the flattened dough onto the tawa. You can make 2-3 small holes in the surface to help it cook faster.
7.
The flame should be on medium. After around 4-5 minutes, it should turn brown from below. Then, flip it over to cook on the other side.
8.
Add more ghee around the edges. Cook for 4 more minutes or until lightly crisp.
9.
Serve the thalipeeth hot with curds, garlic chutney or thecha. Top with white butter.
