Tandala che Thalipeeth (Rice Flour Pan Cake)



Thalipeeth is a type of savoury multi-grain pancake popular in Maharashtra. It is a special Maharashtrian dish.

It is usually served with white butter and is very popular amongst Marathi people. Otherwise it is served with thick ghee or "Toop" (Marathi) or sometimes even with thick curd.

It can be made for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups rice flour
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 3-4 finely chopped green chillies
• 2 table spoon finely chopped coriander
• salt to taste
• 2 tea spoon sugar
• oil for frying
• water as required

Method:

Take all the ingredients in a bowl, except for oil and water. Mix them. Now add water to make soft dough. The dough will be a bit sticky.

Spread 1 table spoon of oil on a tava/ kadai, (If you are using non-stick tava, no need of greasing it, you can add oil later). Take a handfull ball of dough and pat it on the tava. Using your palm and fingers flatten the dough into a round even disk of 1/2 inch thickness. Make 5 small holes to thalipeeth so that it can cook evenly.You can apply some oil on your palm and fingers to make the patting easier.

Now cover and cook on a medium flame till it gets brown and crispy. No need of flipping it over as we cover, it gets cooked by itself.

Thalipeeth is now ready. Serve it hot with white butter or thick curd.
