• Mix everything well with your fingers.
  
• Now gradually add luke warm water and start kneading to a soft dough.
  
• I forgot to add ginger garlic green chili paste in step 4 and so added it while kneading the dough.
  
• Knead into a soft dough. I had used around 2.25 cups of water. You can add more or less depending on how much flour is absorbing. The dough should be not too soft or nor too stiff. It should be manageable and smooth. Press with fingers and add some oil to smoothen the dough.
  
• The dough is smooth and kneaded well after adding the oil. The thalipeeth dough is ready to be used.
  
• Take the butter paper or baking paper or plastic sheet and grease it well with oil. I had used baking paper.
  
• Take a portion of dough and flatten it on the baking paper.
  
• Applying pressure with your fingers , gently press and start to roll the dough into a circle of 5 mm thickness.
  
• With the help of your fingers, make 4 holes . This holes helps to cook thalipeeth well.
  
• Apply oil on the heated pan.
  
• Lift the baking paper and gently put the rolled thalipeeth on the heated pan. peel off the butter paper sheet slowly without breaking the thalippeth.
  
• After half minute, put around 1/2 tsp of oil into the four holes. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  
• Now flip the thalipeeth. Put 1/2 tsp oil into the holes and cover the thalipeeth and cook for 2 minutes till golden.
  
• Remove the lid and cook by flipping both sides another half minute.
  
• The thalipeeth is ready. Serve it hot. Make the remaining thalipeeth in same way. The leftover dough can be refrigerated into an airtight container for 2-3 days.
  
• Serve hot thalipeeth for breakfast, lunch or dinner with yogurt, dry garlic chutney, sliced onions and enjoy, You can add a dollop of fresh butter or regular butter on the thalipeeth and enjoy.
