This cucumber thalipeeth is a must try. It is loaded with cucumber fiber making it heavier on the gut but low in calories, and a great breakfast option and a replacement for poha, rice, or roti as part of a major meal in a weight loss diet.
Ingredients:
(makes 2 servings)
½ cup thalipeeth flour Â
½ cup grated cucumber                       Â
4 tsp chopped onion                             Â
1 tsp chopped coriander leaves         Â
½ tsp garlic green chili paste               Â
¼ tsp turmeric                                                                   Â
Salt to taste
2 tsp oil Â
How to prepare:
Mix the grated cucumber, onion, garlic chili paste, turmeric, salt, and thalipeeth flour in a bowl. Mix well to form a soft dough. Do not knead
Split into 2 equal portions and roll into balls
Heat a flat tava (preferably iron)
Spread a wet cloth on a rolling board
Place a Thalipeeth dough ball at the center of the wet cloth on the rolling board and gently pat down with wet fingers to flatten it (up to 2 to 3 mm thickness)
Once done, make 5 well-spaced holes in the thalipeeth to help it cook well in less time
Lift the cloth along with the patted thalipeeth and invert it on the hot tavaÂ
Add 1 tsp of oil over the sides and center. Cover and cook on a low flame on both sides
Repeat for the 2nd dough ball
Enjoy with a cup of dahi/yogurt
