WHEAT FLOUR CUCUMBER ROTTI/THALIPEETH/ಗೋಧಿ ಹಿಟ್ಟಿನ ಸೌತೇಕಾಯಿ ರೊಟ್ಟಿ
A summer special/suitable rotti/thalipeeth made by adding grated cucumber along with regular spices to the whole wheat flour. We (people of karnataka) generally make rice flour rotti by adding grated cucumber (along with its skin and seeds) to it, so in the same method I have made rotti using whole wheat flour and cucumber.
I also make Whole wheat flour cucumber paratha, in which cucumber-masala mixture is stuffed into the dough, but in this recipe you can directly mix in the grated cucumber (along with its skin and seeds) to the flour along with some spices and herbs of your choice. And as we know the cucumber has lot of water content in it, so most of the times this itself is enough for kneading the dough, but if needed you can add little more water separately.
This rotti can be served along with any kind of chutney, curry or sagu. Today I paired this rotti along with bottle gourd/lauki/sorekayi sagu – the best combo I felt. So happily we all enjoyed this fiber rich breakfast/lunch/dinner combo.
The other day I had made this same rotti in banale/karahi and paired it with my newly thought recipe – tomato kadhi which is made using ragi flour instead of using besan/gram flour or green gram flour or sorghum flour.
Ingredients : measuring cup used – 200 ml
- Whole wheat flour – 2&1/2 cup
- Cumin seeds – 1 tbsp
- Sesame seeds – 2 tsp (optional)
- Cucumber – 1 big
- Grated fresh coconut – 1/2 cup (adjust)
- Green chili -2 to 4 or as per taste
- Curry leaves – 2 sprigs
- Coriander leaves – 1/2 cup
- Salt – to taste
PROCEDURE :
- Wash well and grate the cucumber along with its skin and seeds
- Gather and mix all the ingredients together in a bowl or parath and knead into a soft dough
- The water in the cucumber is enough to bind the dough, but if needed you can add little water at a time to form the dough
- Divide the dough into equal portions and spread evenly on a greased butter paper and roast on both the sides on a heated tawa by smearing little oil
- Serve hot with any kind of accompaniment of your choice
