Thalipeeth recipe | How to make Maharashtrian Thalipith with step-by-step photo and video recipe. There are several ways to prepare Indian flatbread, which is generally prepared with single-grain flour. Thalipeeth recipe is one such flatbread prepared mainly with a combination of flours and spices like coriander and cumin.
I have already shared the other variants of this recipe, i.e. Jowar Roti and Jolada Roti, which are prepared similarly. But this recipe of Thalipeeth is very authentic and traditional, one native to Maharashtrian or Marathi cuisine. Perhaps this recipe is the most requested, which was long overdue because of the ingredients. I could not get the key ingredient, i.e. fresh Bajra flour, in my place here. Unfortunately, it is either out of stock or almost expired with stale flour whenever I plan to shop it. Eventually, it got delayed, and I had to wait till it matched my shopping date. Luckily, I could get ahold of it during my recent trip to Sydney this Easter holiday.
While the Thalipeeth recipe is straightforward, some tips, recommendations, and serving ideas exist. Firstly, I have added onions to this recipe, which cannot be used for Vrat or as a fasting recipe. But it is not mandatory and can be easily skipped if you do not like to. Secondly, Thalipeeth is generally served with plain yoghurt/curd with either fresh butter or pickle as a side dish. Alternatively, you can serve these with sprouts masala, Bhaingan Bharta or stuffed eggplant curry. Lastly, prepare the flour mix or Bhajani flour well for future use. The proportions would be the same as used in the recipe.
Finally, I would like to highlight my other Roti or Chapati Recipes Collection with this post on the Thalipeeth recipe. It includes recipes like Rumali roti, Akki roti, tandoori roti, palak paratha, Methi Thepla, jowar roti, Sabudana Thalipeeth, butter naan, paneer kulcha and masala kulcha recipe.
