Enjoy the authentic taste of Thalipeeth, a classic Indian bread preparation with regional character. This family-friendly accompaniment adds the perfect finishing touch to any Indian meal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, besan, and rice flour. Mix thoroughly to distribute the flours evenly.
Stir in chopped onion, cilantro, and grated carrot. Add the salt, red chili powder, cumin seeds, and turmeric powder, then mix until well combined.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, kneading to create a soft, pliable dough. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes, covered, to hydrate the flours.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Grease parchment or plastic with oil, then flatten each dough ball into a rough 6-inch disc with your fingers, pressing gently for even thickness.
Heat a skillet on medium. Place a thalipeeth disc onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the underside is golden, then flip. Drizzle a little oil around the edges, press gently, and cook until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through. Repeat for all portions, adjusting heat to prevent burning.
