Thalipeeth

I had thalipeeth for the first time  in Pune when a Maharastrian friend served it for breakfast. Finding it tasty and easy to make, I have included it into my breakfast menu.

Ingredients

For 3 thalipeeths:

½ cup wheat flour

½ cup gram flour (besan)

½ cup jowar (white millet) flour

1 small onion chopped fine

1 small cucumber grated

1 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves

1 green chilli finely cut

¼ tsp turmeric powder

¼ tsp red chilli powder

½ tsp coriander powder

¼ tsp cumin powder

Salt to taste

Water

Ghee or oil to use while cooking

Instruction

-          Mix all the ingredients with enough water to make into a smooth dough.

-          Heat a thava (griddle) and grease it lightly with ghee or oil.

-          Take a small ball of the dough and spread it on the thava.

-          When the surface change in appearance as the lower part is cooked, pour some ghee over it and turn it upside down.

-        Once the bottom side is also cooked, remove from the thava.

-         Serve hot with curds, chutney  and pickle.

Today I used ready made thalipeeth mix that a friend form Mumbai had gifted. His friend Sri. Prasanna S. Mhalgi sells this product in his shop Santosh sansar sahitya (23,Pramila sadan, D. L. Vaidya road,Dadar (west )...Mumbai 400028)

I added grated cucumber and finely cut leaves (different types from our garden) and it tasted good. with the lemon sweet pickle and coconut chutney.
