Thalipeeth Maharashtrian Dish

Thalipeeth is a type of savoury multi-grain pancake popular in Western India. It is a special Maharashtrian dish. The dough is prepared from a special flour made from roasted Chana daal, Urad daal, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, wheat, and rice. Onion, fresh coriander and other vegetables and spices are added when kneading the dough.

Thalipeeth Bhajani:

 Method:

 1. Roast all the ingredients separately till it turns light brown and aromatic.
