I am sharing the recipe of Thalipith in which I have added grated carrot and finely chopped cabbage.

Thalipith with Hard/Crispy Texture

Soft Thalipith

 INGREDIENTS:

1. Sorghum Flour/Jowar Flour - 2 Cups
2. Grated Carrots - 1/4 Cups
3. Finely chopped Cabbage - 1/4 Cups
4. Red chilly powder - 1 Tbsp
5. Turmeric Powder - 1/2 Tbsp
6. Salt for taste
7. Oil
   

STEPS:

• Knead the dough along with other ingredients except oil in warm water.Make dough balls as shown picture below.Dough not be too sticky or too stiff
  
• Coat each dough ball with oil.
• Take a skillet and season it with oil.
• Take a ball and start spreading it evenly on the skillet with hands.Make the holes.This very important to have it baked properly and to remove without sticking(In case non stick skillet is not used)
  
• Keep the skillet on medium flame to bake.After some time, you will see that Thalipith has baked to a point where you can flip ot to the other side.Flip it and let it bake it on the other side.
• Repeat the same steps every time
• FOR HARD BUT CRISPY TEXTURE - Spread it thin and bake without covering it with lid.
• FOR SOFT TEXTURE - Spread not too much thin and bake with covered lid for both the sides.
• Thalipith is served with Yogurt.Can also spread some butter.

TIPS:

• Always keep the dough covered in order to keep it moist.
• Thalipith in kadhai gives better results if you have real flame and not glass top or Induction.
• You can add vegetables of your choice.
• You can also have vegetables as toppings.Just sprinkle the vegetables on the spread dough tap with fingers.
