Thalipeeth
Thalipeeth is an authentic and traditional flatbread from Maharashtra. It is generally made by preparing Bhajani flour at home which comprises of various flours like bajra, jowar, rice, urad dal, chana dal and whole wheat flour. (Use a minimum combination of any three flours) The proportions of the flours can vary as per taste and preference. Traditionally the grains were dry roasted individually and then milled to get the flours. Previously it was made at home as almost all households would have the traditional stone-mill but later on, the flours were pounded at the local mechanized flour mills. Nowadays almost all products are easily available in the market and hence all flours are always at hand in one's pantry. It is a very healthy recipe and provides a lot of energy and nutrition. Serve it with pickle, curd, homemade white butter etc.
