Thalipeeth Recipe

Thalipeeth

Thalipeeth (Spicy Pancake) is a Maharashtrian Recipe made with multi grain flours called “Bhajani”. It is usually served as a breakfast or snack with some butter or yogurt or some dry garlic chutney. It is extremely nutritious and a common breakfast recipe at my home. 
In India you can get a specific flour known as ‘Bhajani peeth’ which is the main ingredient for thalipeeth. If you can’t find it then you can make a flour by combining jowar flour, rice flour, besan, Bajra flour and wheat flour.
