Cooking with Shail

Hey guys! This recipe is perfect for breakfast or dinner. Traditionally it can be made for fasting but I am making a few tweaks in the recipe so this recipe cannot be used for fasting but you can enjoy it on a normal day for breakfast. You can even use this as tiffin recipe for kids. So lets get cooking….

Ingredients:

Sabudana/Sago/Tapioca pearls (white) – 1 and 1/2 cups

Roasted peanut powder (not too fine little coarse) – 1/2 cup

Rajgira/Amaranth flour – 1/2 cup

Ginger, garlic paste – 2 tsp

Kashmiri red chilli powder – 1 tsp

Roasted cumin powder – 1 tsp

Garam masala powder – 2 tsp

Amchur powder – 1 tsp

Grated cheese (processed) – 1 cube

Boiled potatoes – 2 medium sized

Finely chopped green chilly – 2 pieces

Finely chopped onion – 1 small size

Finely chopped coriander leaves – 1/4 cup

Powdered sugar – 1 tsp

Lemon juice – 1 tsp

Salt as per taste

Oil for greasing

Method:

1) Soak the sabudana for 4-5 hours.

2) In a big bowl take the potatoes and mash it. Now add all the remaining ingredients together and mix it well, Make it dough like. Grease it little with oil and cover and keep aside for 10 minutes.

3) Now grease your hands with oil and make roughly around 8 balls out of the dough. Usually the thalipeeth is flattened using the hands itself or place the ball in between a plastic sheet and roll it out (do not make it too thin nor too fat keep it medium roti size). I make it using the plastic sheet method or roll the ball in the rajgira four and roll it out using a roller on steel plate. If your using the hands apply some flour on the steel plate and flatten it slowly by applying flour on top also.

4) Once the thalipeeth is ready cook it on both sides by applying oil on a non stick tawa till golden brown on both sides like a paratha.

5) Serve hot with curd or pudina chutney or with some chopped tomatoes and capsicum (lightly seasoned with chat masala).
