Onion Tomato Tikkar

Onion Tomato Tikkar (Pyaaz Tamatar Tikkar) step by step instructions:

Tikkad or Tikkar comes from Rajasthani kitchen. Tikkar is like a stuffed paratha but the way of stuffing is bit different.

With the goodness of multigrain flour and makkai flour, tikkars are very healthy option.


Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Multigrain flour: ½ cup
Maize (Makkai) flour: 1 cup
Clarified butter (ghee): 2 tbsp
Onion: 1 big (finely chopped)
Tomatoes: 2 medium (deseeded and finely chopped)
Ginger: 1 inch piece (grated)
Garlic: 1 tsp (grated)
Green chili: 2 (finely chopped)
Coriander leaves: 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Salt as per taste
Water: approx. 2 tbsp (for kneading the flour)
Clarified butter (ghee) for paratha
Wheat flour for rolling the tikkar

Method:


1. In a bowl mix together onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, green chilies and coriander leaves.
2. In a big plate take makkai flour and multigrain flour.


3. Add salt and ghee to the flour.
4. Mix with the help of your fingertips.
5. Now add half of the mixture (prepared in the first step) to the flour.


6. Mix together the flour and mixture nicely.
7. Now add water and knead dough just like that of parathas.


8. Cover and keep it aside for 30 minutes.
9. Make 8 equal balls of it.


10. Take one ball. Apply some dry flour and roll it a little.


11. Take a spoonful of mixture and evenly spread it on the rolled roti and press.


12. With the help of rolling pin gently roll the above portion into a circle. (Some mixture will stick to the rolling pin hence try to roll very lightly).


13. Heat a griddle.
14. Put the tikkar on the tawa (the stuffing side facing the tawa)


15. Cook the tikkar on hot tawa (griddle). Apply ghee on both the sides and cook till both ends turn golden brown.



16. Similarly repeat for other portion of dough.
17. Rajasthani tikkar is ready.


18. Serve hot with chutneys, curd.

Tips:
1. If you the tikkar less spicy then remove the seeds of green chili.
2. Take sufficient dry wheat flour to roll the circles.
3. We are keeping the stuffing on the top, so rolling can be a bit tricky but with practice it comes perfect.

See you soon with a new recipe till then Happy Cooking!!!
