Thalipeeth:
Thalipeeth is a type of a savory pancake which is a popular dish of Maharashtra.. It is spiced pancake with flavor and nutrition.. It is a tasty and quick-to-make snack once you have made and stored the flour.. The recipe can be accessorized as per your likings and it makes a delicious breakfast, quick lunch or for dinner. I always made this thalipeeth with so many flour(Ragi, Jowar, Bajra, wheat,besan,rice,) and many different types of grains...dal, and spices, all roasted and ground into a wonderful aromatic flour.. Traditional way to serve thalipeeth is with green chutney and either some plain yogurt or a dollop of butter.

Method:
1 .Mix all ingredients (except oil). Add water as required, a little at a time and knead to form, a soft dough.
2 .Divide dough into 7-8 equal portions. Flatten each portion on a grease (with oil) banana leaf or a thick polythene sheet, into a round shape.
3 . If you are using plastic sheet apply some oil to the sheet. Then take one ball, flatten it in your palm & then place that flattened ball on sheet. Press that ball with your fingers evenly. Make sure thalipeeth should be just size of your palm because if you make it bigger it will break while lifting it. Dip hand in water in between, if it is not spreading properly.
