Ingredients Needed
Before you start cooking, gather the following ingredients:
-
Sarita's Kitchen Thalipeeth Bhajani: 2 cups
-
Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
-
Green Chillies: 2, finely chopped
-
Coriander Leaves: A handful, finely chopped
-
Salt: To taste
-
Water: As needed
-
Oil: For cooking
Optional ingredients:
-
Carrot: 1 small, grated
-
Cumin Seeds: 1 tsp
-
Ginger: 1 inch, grated
Preparing the Dough
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
Start by combining the Sarita's Kitchen Thalipeeth Bhajani with the chopped onion, green chillies, and coriander leaves in a large mixing bowl. If you’re using optional ingredients like grated carrot, cumin seeds, or ginger, add them now. Mix everything well.
Step 2: Add Water Gradually
Slowly add water to the mixture while kneading it to form a soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not too sticky. If it becomes too wet, add a little more Bhajani. If it's too dry, sprinkle some more water.
Step 3: Rest the Dough
Let the dough rest for about 10-15 minutes. This resting period helps the flavours meld, ensuring a more flavorful Thalipeeth.
Cooking the Thalipeeth
Step 4: Shape the Thalipeeth
Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it slightly. Traditionally, Thalipeeth is shaped by hand, but you can use a rolling pin if preferred. To prevent sticking, use a plastic sheet or parchment paper beneath the dough while shaping.
Step 5: Cook on a Tawa
Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) over medium flame. Once hot, place the shaped dough on the tawa.
Step 6: Cook with Oil
Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the Thalipeeth. Cook until the bottom is golden brown. Flip it over and cook the other side, adding a little more oil if necessary. Using wood pressed oil enhances the authentic flavour while keeping it wholesome and nutritious. It should be crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
Step 7: Serve Hot
Once done, remove the Thalipeeth from the tawa and serve immediately with a dollop of butter or a side of yoghurt for an authentic experience.
Tips for the Perfect Thalipeeth
-
Consistency of Dough: Ensure the dough is neither too hard nor too soft to achieve the right texture.
-
Resting Time: Allowing the dough to rest enhances the flavours and makes it easier to handle.
-
Cooking Temperature: Maintain a medium flame to ensure even cooking without burning.
-
Variations: Experiment with adding different vegetables or spices to the dough for a personalized touch.
