Bhajanicha Thalipeeth

An undoubtedly the most popular and nutritious Maharashtrian delicacy prepared by using different kinds of flours like jowar, bajra, besan, wheatflour etc is a perfect snack and meal in itself. Easy to prepare and loved by all. Traditionally served with dahi / curd. 

Here I am sharing this recipe which is made using readymade thalipeeth bhajani easily available at any grocery store.

Ingredients: (Approx. Serves 5)

250 gms Thalipeeth Bhajani (Readymade)

1 Big Onion

1 tbsp Whole Dhane (Coriander Seeds) OR Coriander Powder

1 tsp Cumin Powder

1 tbsp Til (Sesame Seeds)

1 tsp Red Chilly Powder OR 2 Green Chillies

1/4th cup Coriander Leaves (Optional)

Salt

Water for kneading dough

Oil

Method:

In a mixing bowl add readymade thalipeeth bhajani and all the dry spices.

Add chopped onion, coriander leaves, salt and 1tbsp oil.

Mix all the ingredients well. Check for seasoning.Now add water and knead a soft dough. Cover and keep aside this dough for 15-20mins before you start making the thalipeeth.

Using a clean plastic sheet or wet cloth on a plain surface, place a medium sized ball of this dough and pat it into a circle like chapati/roti. Make some holes in the thalipeeth so that it cooks evenly.

Apply little water on plastic sheet or cloth before placing the medium sized ball of the dough so that it doesn't stick.

Pat the thalipeeth evenly from all side. Use water if the dough is sticking to your hand.

Heat a tava/skillet and grease with a tablespoon of oil. When oil heats up slowly lift the plastic sheet/cloth and put the thalipeeth onto the tava and remove the platic sheet /cloth.

Spread oil on the edges of the thalipeeth and inbetwen the holes.

Cover and cook the thalipeeth on a medium flame for about 5-7 minutes on one side. Flip and cook from other side aswell.

Cook till the thalipeeth turns brown and crisp.

Thalipeeth is ready.
