Nowadays I’m trying to mix up different grains, millets and their flours to make rotis or the ever favourite thalipeeth. Wholesome, nutritious and more importantly delicious filling multi grain thalipeeth is what we will learn today. You can add fun things into your thalipeeth and it beats fancy “flatbreads” anyday.
For the multi grain thalipeeth I have used ragi, bajra, jowar, rice flours and also I have added some rava for texture. Along with these flours I have also added grated carrot and zucchini. But you can also add grated daikon radish, chopped onions, grated cucumber or chopped methi leaves. The options are endless.
See jowar thalipeeth recipe. Serve with a spicy chutney and some yogurt on the side. Best to have them for dinner, light and hearty dinner to seal a tiring day!
