Multi-millet thalipeeth is a healthy twist to the usual one. Different flours are mixed to make a delectable flatbread. It is ideal to serve for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Thalipeeth is one of the popular recipes from South India. Different flours or at times, only rice flour is mixed with coconut and spices. It is then kneaded to a soft dough and patted into a thin flatbread on a sheet and roasted. It is crispy and tasty. With the increasing importance of millets, we are destined to add them in umpteen ways. We usually mix jowar flour along with rice flour and a little gram flour. But here, I had a packet of multi-millet flour and have used it. Multi millet thalipeeth is a healthy twist to the usual one made with rice flour. It is ideal to serve for breakfast or lunch.
Mixed millet flour is easily available in the super markets. Otherwise, you need to mix equal quantity of finger millet, foxtail millet, kodo millet, pearl millet and little millet along with a little quantity of amaranth. The seeds are usually washed, dried and then finely powdered.
The other millet recipes that I have on blog are ragi dosa, ragi idli, bajra roti,
