Bhajaniche Thalipeeth

Thalipeeth is a multigrain Indian bread. It is made from Bhajani. Apart from bhajani thalipeeth, ‘sabudana thalipeeth’ is prepared during fasts. Thalipeeth can be prepared from leftover Dal, vegetables also. Thalipeeth can be eaten anytime of the day; for breakfast, lunch, brunch, snack or in dinner.

I still remember my childhood days, when my Aaji use to make delicious Bhajani Thalipeeths and serve it hot with “Lonyacha Gola” (home made butter).

Ingredients:

2 cup Bhajani

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 tsp red chili powder

¼ tsp turmeric powder

¼ tsp asafoetida

2-3 tbspns oil

Water for kneading

salt to taste

Oil for shallow fry

Preparation:

Take bhajani in a vessel.

Add finely chopped onion, red chilly powder, turmeric powder, asafetida, oil, salt and mix it well.

Add water to the mixture

Knead the mixture to make dough.

Make 3-4 equal size balls of the dough

Take a non stick fry pan and grease it with oil

Place the ball on the pan

Gently press the dough to make it flat and give it round shape

Make a hole in the centre and 4 holes in each quadrant to pour oil in it.

Place the pan on medium flame

Cover thalipeeth for 2-3 minutes

Now change the side and again cook it for 2-3 minutes

Serve it with butter (Loni) or curd
