Thalipeeth | Diabetic-Friendly Maharashtrian Flatbread
Thalipeeth is most popular in western India, particularly in Maharashtra. It is similar to keto paratha but more delicious, healthy than keto parantha, and even easy to digest. Generally, to make Maharashtrian thalipith we need a mixture of urad daal, chana daal, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, wheat, and rice.
But you don't have to bother to make flour with all these ingredients. We have an alternative flour that contains all the ingredients and nutrition of thalipeeth flour.
I have taken Diabexy atta because of 2 reasons. First, you don't have to bother making flour of daal mixture (pulses) and other ingredients. Second, it helps in managing our blood sugar levels. So, if you are a diabetic or want to lose weight then it is the best option for you.

How to Make Traditional Maharashtrian Thalipeeth
To make an authentic thalipeeth recipe first you must have all the ingredients mentioned above. Now follow the guidelines carefully.
Take a bowl and add 1 cup (120g) of Diabexy Atta.
Add 1 cup of chopped onion to the atta.
Add 2 tbsp chopped coriander (Dhaniya) and 1 chopped green chilli.
Add ½ tsp red chilli powder, ½ tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp cumin powder, and salt to taste.
Mix all the ingredients properly.
Add ½ - 1 cup water gradually and knead into a soft dough.
Take a metal kitchen plate and reverse it. Cover it with oiled butter paper so you won't face any issues stretching the roll.
Take a small portion of dough and start making rolls on the covered metal plate, stretching it into a small circle.
Heat a cooking pan and put some desi ghee on it. When the ghee is hot, place the rolled thalipeeth on it and cook from both sides, greasing with desi ghee.
Your instant Maharashtrian thalipeeth is ready to serve!
You can use oil as well like olive oil, but I recommend you use desi ghee because it is healthier than oil. Enjoy your meal!
- Use oiled butter paper on a reversed metal plate to easily roll the dough without sticking
- Desi ghee adds more flavor and health benefits than regular oil
- You can add grated vegetables like carrot or cabbage for extra nutrition
- Serve hot with fresh curd, yogurt, or green chutney
