Winter Special Bhajni Thalipeeth
A very simple Maharashtrian snack dish. Very tasty and depends upon you how tasty you could make it with a few additions and innovations. I say winter special because I have used a bunch of fresh green fenugreek leaves cleaned, dried and ground to a fine powder. When the dough is ready it looks so good with the fenugreek powder. All greens are available in abundance in winter and are a pleasure to cook and innovate with!
Here the flour is multi grain, lentil and few aromatics.
The ingredients mentioned below should be dry roasted separately till they release an aroma and ground to a fine powder.
1/2 kg Rice
1/4 kg Bengal Gram Split
100 gms Whole wheat
1/4 kg Jowar or Sorghum
2 tbsp Coriander seeds
1 tspn cumin seeds
Some people also add a handful of beaten rice
To make the thalipeeth you need
2 cups of the flour made in the above method
2 onions chopped to medium sized cubes
1 cup of fenugreek leaf powder
Salt to taste
5 green chillies well crushed
Method
Now in a broad plate, we call it paraat, take all the above ingredients and make a dough like we would for a roti. Make equal sized balls and spread it on a greased pan as shown in the picture. Make holes with the finger and fill each hole with little oil. Cook covered on one side, flip and cook on the other side too till crisp and golden brown. The thickness can be adjusted according to individual taste.
Eat with any chutney, sauce, curd or fried chillies. It tastes yummy as is is too!
