Sabudana Thalipeeth

Sabudana Thalipeeth



Sabudana Thalipeeth (Sago pancakes) is a popular and traditional Maharashtrian dish. It is made of sago/sabudana and prepared mainly during fasting.

These crispy thalipeeth simply melts in mouth and are very filling. It can be made for breakfast or a meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sabudana
• 2 boiled, peeled and mashed potatoes
• 4-5 green chillies coarsely ground
• 3 table spoon roasted peanut powder
• 2-3 tea spoon sugar
• salt to taste
• 2 table spoon coriander leaves,finely chopped
• oil for frying

Method:

Wash the sabudana and soak in water overnight (or) for about 4-5 hours. Make sure you add enough water to cover the sabudana. The water should be just half inch above sabudana.

Mix together sabudana, mashed potato, green chilly paste, salt, sugar, roasted peanut powder and coriander leaves. Mix properly.
 

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 hand full 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 thick curd.
