Multigrain Thalipeeth is a Gluten Free and Vegan flatbread combining millet flours and basic pantry spices to a spicy flatbread. Served with yogurt or pickle for a filling meal.
Thalipeeth or an unleavened Indian hand-made flatbread is a breakfast / dinner dish we enjoy at home. Usually made with jowar / sorghum / finger millet flours individually, it’s also enjoyed best made with a mix of multigrain flours . I have used several GF flours for this flatbread. Quite spicy on its own, this is often eaten with curd or a pickle.
Gluten free flours are good for not just those who need it for medical reasons, but also promotes good health overall, Keeps one full and is a fibre rich option especially for diabetics.
Multigrain thalipeeth is best eaten hot off the tava / skillet Let’s see how to make it.
What can I serve This Thalipeeth with?
Lasanachi Chutney (Dry garlic chutney) is the best bet 🙂
Dhaba style Dahi Chutney also works great
Chilled Dahi (yogurt)
Any Pickle (esp Lemon / Mango)

Tips to make a tasty Thalipeeth:
- For beginners (or those who don’t mind adding wheat flour), add a few TBSP of Atta / Stone ground Wheat flour to make the dough
- Do not add milk / cold water to make the dough. Hot water works best sprinkled in batches, knead lightly to make a slightly stiff dough.
- Rest dough for max 10-15 mins before making the thalipeeth.
- If you don’t have access to plastic / banana leaves use greased parchment or a wet mens’ clean white handkerchief to pat the dough into the flatbread. The hanky method, though requires a lot of experience.
- For added nutrition, one may add any greens (spinach / fenugreek or methi or even swiss chard) to the dough. Please note the addition of more greens howver will release more water which may require more flour to bind.
- One can use chilli flakes too instead of green chillies if making for younger kids / those who can’t take too much spice.
Prep time – 15 Mins ; Cook time – 20 Mins , Makes – 4 servings
What you need to make Multigrain Thalipeeth
- 1/2 cup Jowar / sorghum flour
- 4 heaped Tablespoon Finger millet flour / Nachni Atta / Ragi Atta
- 1/4 cup Bajra atta / Pearl millet flour
- 2 TBSP Channa dal flour / gramflour / chickpea flour
- 4 tsp Rice flour (You can use White / Brown)
- 1/2 cup Grated veggies (cabbage, carrot, calabash (Lauki/bottlegourd)
- 1/4 cup onion (minced)
- 1/4 tsp Crushed ajwain / carrom seeds
- 1 tsp green Chillies (finely minced)
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp Roasted Jeera / Cumin Powder
- 1/4 tsp Amchur / Dry Mango powder
- 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder (adjust spice)
- 1.25 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 2 TBSP Chopped cilantro
- 4 tsp Oil (1 tsp per thalipeeth to shallow fry)
How to make Multigrain Thalipeeth:
- In a large mixing bowl, sieve all the flours with salt, turmeric, chilli powder. Mix well. Add the grated veggies and mix well. Don’t add any water at this stage. The veggies will react with the salt and release water.
- Once the mix is semi dry, sprinkle hot water little by little (I needed a max of 1/3 cup) to make a pliable dough. Cover and rest for 15 mins
- On a oiled plastic sheet / transfer sheet , pinch out a large lemon sized dough. Flatten out the thalipeeth on this greased sheet OR a floured surface (use rice flour / Jowar flour for dusting) to a disc of 1/2 Cm thickness and 7-8 Cm in diameter. Make 1-2 holes on the thalipeeth to enable it to cook through.
- With a flat spatula, Transfer the thalipeeth to a medium hot skillet. Drizzle oil into the holes and around the bread and cook evenly on both sides. Serve with yoghurt and / or pickle
