Ingredients:
For Green Chili paste:
4 - 6 green chilies
8 - 10 Garlic cloves
1/2 Cup fresh chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup Rice flour
1/2 Cup Besan
1/2 cup Jawar flour
2 - 3 Tablespoon sesame seeds
1 Small onion, chopped
1 Teaspoon Cumin seeds

Method:
For green chili paste, first add green chilies, garlic, cilantro, cumin seeds in a grinder and make a smooth paste. Keep it aside.
Take a mixing bowl. Add whole wheat flour, rice flour, Beasan, Jawar flour, green chili paste, sesame seeds, chopped onion, turmeric powder, cumin seeds and salt as per your taste. Mix well and knead into dough. Keep it aside for 15 minutes.
Heat a pan. On a wooden/metal board place a wet cotton cloth and take a small ball of dough. Place it over the cloth. Start flattens the ball in a circle shape, sprinkle some sesame seeds and make holes in it. This hole helps to cook Thalipeeth evenly.
Lift Thalipeeth with cotton cloth and place it on the heated pan. Make sure the cloth side is up. Slowly detach the cloth from Thalipeeth. Cook the Thalipeeth from both sides until it turns brown and crispy.
Similar way make rest of Thalipeeths.
