Tikadiya or Marwari Tikadia is a masala paratha from Rajasthan where the chapati is made with a mix of spice powders and cooked over a griddle. This is mostly served with a mild Rajasthani Dal or Gatta Sabzi.
Finally, I made this Tikadiya when I did my Rajasthani Thali. To ensure a well-balanced thali, I referred the thali from Vaishali to ensure the thali was well balanced. We serve this Tikadiya with Paneer Gatta and Rajasthani Dal.
With the Thali theme on Indian Flatbreads, my draft was rich. While making a thali is quite a laborious process, one ends up with lots of dishes that you can plan over many months. Creating a thali surely helps as the draft becomes rich and saves time for me as well.
This masala tikadiya is similar to the Masala Paratha, except it uses lesser spices. You can certainly serve this spicy roti with bland dals.
While I had done this ahead of time, I had other T's that were noted down like Tikhat Mithachi Puri, TandLachi Bhakri, etc.
Tikadiya was my choice for T, in the AtoZ Flatbread and More, where I am making AtoZ Indian Flatbread. If you are interested to know what's for T in the AtoZ Dosa Varieties, hop over!

Love the spice mix went in this Tikadia, cant wait to give a try to this flavourful paratha, and that thali looks absolutely droolworthy. Everything looks just prefect and satisfying for me.

I love layered chapathas it is quite interesting to make and deliciously flaky. The addition of spice powder makes it so inviting. I can have this plain with a cup.of tea.
harini says
Wow! that sounds awesome, Valli. I thought of making the same kind of paratha and label it yerra karam rotte 🙂 I didn't know Tikadia was a thing 🙂

It sure is a blessing to do a Thali , it helps you to save so much time when in you are short of time . Rajasthani Tikadia is a simple bread but tastes awesome with any curry or on its own too .
Simply Tadka says

An interesting roti, spreading a bit of masala and rolling it up. Doing a thali has its advantage, besides been an absolute treat, you can have many recipes all in one plate. Awesome thali Srivalli.

Yum and delicious. Love your method of preparation. I make it slightly different generally a quick fix when I don't have vegetables to go along.
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
What a lovely masaledar paratha this is. Vaishali's recipes cannot go wrong and I am drooling at your Thaali.
Padmajha PJ says
I definitely need to learn planning from you and Vaishali! Such a nice thali and an even more delightful flatbread to bookmark!
code2cook says
hats off to your google search that for letter you had choices. I was kind of stuck two times badly and waited for your posts to get the idea :)))). Tikadia bread looks great with this yummy and nicely done thali. true making thalis is a laborious task but worth for sure.
