The dish is very popular in Maharashtra. Tastes best when serves with butter, curd and pickle!

Its very nutritious, and also easy to prepare. Here is a traditional maharashtrian recipe to prove our point.

Ingredients

• 1 cup thalipeeth flour
• 1 medium chopped onion
• 2 teaspoon red chilli powder
• chopped cilantro/coriander leaves
• 1 spoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Water to knead the dough

How to make Thalipeeth

• Step 1

  Finely chop the onions and transfer them in a bowl. To the chopped onions, add salt, chili,  chopped coriander leaves, sesame seeds and  thalipeeth flour.  Keep 1 cup water handy as it will be required to knead the dough. Now knead a soft dough by adding water. Make sure that the dough is not very hard.

• Step 2

  Take a pan / kadai and add good 3-4 tsp of oil to it. Oil your palms as well. Take a small ball of the dough and press it a little between your palms.

• Step 3

  Then place the dough on the oil pool on the pan. With the help of your fingers and palm make a roti (try making as round as possible).

• Step 4

  Make a little hole in the center and pour a little oil in it. Put the pan on the gas and roast the thalipeeth. If you like it crisp then make it really flat and burn it a little as well to get a crunch. Flip and roast the other side as well.

• Step 6

  Remove from the pan and have it hot. You can add cucumber and cauliflower to this as well. Serve it with pickle or thecha and enjoy!
