Maharashtrian Kakdi Thalipeeth - Spiced Cucumber Flat Bread

Step 1: To begin making the Maharashtrian Kakdi Thalipeeth Recipe, in a large mixing bowl add all the 3 flours together and mix them

Step 2: Add all the remaining ingredients like the grated cucumber, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, green chillies, coriander leaves, garlic and salt to taste

Step 3: Mix everything well and add a little water at a time to make a smooth and firm dough of the Kakdi Thalipeeth

Step 4: The cucumber will release water when it gets combined with salt, so take care to add little water at a time

Step 5: The dough will be slightly sticky to handle

Step 6: Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes

Step 7: Divide the dough into 4 portions

Step 8: Preheat the skillet on medium heat

Step 10: Spread a wet muslin cloth on a smooth counter top

Step 11: Take a portion of the Kakdi Thalipeeth mixture and pat it on the wet cloth to about 4 inches in diameter

Step 12: Try not to make it too thin as it can break while flipping it on the skillet

Step 13: Carefully lift the cloth along with the patted mixture and flip the Thalipeeth over on the skillet

Step 14: Drizzle a teaspoon of oil or ghee around the Thalipeeth and cook on medium heat

Step 15: After about 3 minutes, you will be able to flip the Kakdi Thalipeeth over to the other side

Step 16: Allow each side to cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, until the Thalipeeth are slightly crisp and browned

Step 17: Remove from heat and place on a serving platter

Step 18: Continue the same procedure with the other portions of the Kakdi Thalipeeth dough
