Making Thalipeeth:
- Dampen a muslin cloth or cotton kitchen napkin with water and spread it over the rolling board. The cloth should be moist. Meanwhile, heat a tawa (griddle).
- Take a portion of the dough, roll it into a ball, and flatten it on the moistened cloth.
- Gently press and flatten the dough with your fingers to create a flatbread about ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the dough while flattening if needed.
- Make a hole in the center or create 3 to 4 holes around the edges to aid in even frying.
- Spread a little oil on the hot tawa. Adjust the flame to medium-high and place the thalipeeth on it, with the side touching the tawa.
- Carefully peel off the muslin from the rolled thalipeeth dough.
- Drizzle some oil into the holes and around the edges.
- Cover with a lid and cook the thalipeeth for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the base becomes golden and crisp. Adjust the browning according to preference.
- Flip the thalipeeth and cook the second side until brown spots appear.
- Remove from heat and serve hot.
- If not serving immediately, stack the thalipeeth in a roti basket or casserole to keep them warm.
- Serve the thalipeeth with white butter, fresh curd, pickle, or thecha.
