Thalipeeth is a traditional Maharashtrian pancake made with flour of multiple grains. There are very many variations of the Thalipeeth Bhajani  or Thalipeeth Flour. But essentially, it is a mix of rice flour with other flours such as jowar, bajra, udad dal, wheat, ragi, etc.

Here is a Thalipeeth Bhajani that I have used and like very much http://ruchkarjevan.blogspot.in/2010/07/thalipeethachi-bhajani.html.

You get ready-made bhajani very easily everywhere in Mumbai. Some popular brands include Bedekar or my personal favourite Bhagirathi Products.

The thing about Thalipeeth is that it is very healthy, nutritious, and absolutely yummy!!

Preparation Time: 10 Mins

Cooking Time (Per Thalipeeth): 10 Mins

Method

1. Peel and chop the onions to fine pieces.
2. Chop the green chillies to fine pieces.
3. Mix the thalipeeth bhajani, onions, green chillies, salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, and coriander leaves.
4. Add enough water and kenad into a moist but firm dough.
5. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
6. Roll each portion into a ball.
7. Grease a sheet of foil with a few drops of oil.
8. Place a ball of dough on the foil.
9. With a moist hand, firmly press down on the dough and spread it out evenly into a thick pancake.

11. Heat a tava/griddle.

Green chilli pickle mixed with curd is an awesome accompaniment to  thalipeeth.
