Let’s prepare truly mouth watering Maharashtrian Thalipeeth…
Ingredients:
- Upvash Bhanjani (flour): 2 cups
- Mint leaves: 1 tablespoon (Chopped)
- Ginger: 2” piece
- Pink Rock Salt: 1 teaspoon (as per taste)

Method:
- Divide the dough into 4-5 parts with wet hand; here I gave shape to Thalipeeth directly on greased Non-Stick-Tawa with help of damp fingers as shown in the photo. (It will be approximately twice thicker than normal chapatti).
- Make one hole in the centre and 3- 4 holes at the sides. It helps in frying the Thalipeeth well.
- Sprinkle some oil in the holes as well as the edges.Cover with a lid and let the Thalipeeth cook for 2- 3 minutes; Cook on medium flame.
- When Thalipeeth changes its colour turn to other side and continue to cook for another side for 2-3 minutes (this side should be cooked little more than 1st side), brown spot should be visible.
- Apply ghee both sides and turn it again and cook on medium low flame. Now “Upvash Bhanjani/ Bhanjanee (Fasting Mix Flour) Thalipeeth is ready, it can be served with “Saffron Cardamon Shree khand/ Sri Khand” and Fresh Fruits.
