Thalipeeth- Maharashtrian Delight

 This is a Maharashtrian dish which is made by mixing 4 kind of flours. This dish is slightly spiced multi grain, which looks like paratha but is made in a different method. There are so many variations in making this thalipeeth. This is highly nutritious and very healthy and can be eaten by all.





I got introduced to this dish from my friend who helps me a lot in cooking these kind of dishes. I have introduced her to you in my older posts. She gave me the mix of thalipeeth and I made it the way she explained me to do. The result was an excellent and yummy breakfast for us. Did I say that I was making this for the first time. Once you try this and I’m sure you are gonna love this.


Ingredients:
  1. Bengal Gram Flour / Besan- ¼ cup
  2. Rice flour- ¼ cup
  3. Wheat flour- ¼ cup
  4. Millet flour / Jowar / Ragi- ¼ cup
  5. Coriander Powder- 1tsp
  6. Red chiily Powder- 1tsp
  7. Salt- As per taste
  8. Turmeric Powder- ½ tsp
  9. Onions (chopped)- 1no
  10. Green Chillies (chopped)- 2nos
  11. Coriander leaves (chopped)- ½ cup
  12. Curd- 1tbsp
  13. Water- for mixing
  14. Oil- for cooking

Method:
  1. Mix all the ingredients (except oil)  together with water to make a soft pliable dough.
  2. The dough will be sticky. Divide this into 5-6 equal small balls and keep it aside.
  3. Traditionally it is made with hands, by patting a small ball of dough with both hands in the form of parathas and cook it with oil on a pan.
  4. Easy method is to oil two plastic bags and place a small ball of dough in between the two bags and use the tip of your hands to pat the dough into a flat shape.
  5. I used the first method and it was too tiring as I made this for the first time.. :)
  6. Heat and grease a nonstick pan and gently turn the plastic sheet upside down and ease of the thalipeeth on to the pan.
  7. Cook on both side till golden brown and crisp, using little oil.
  8. Repeat the process till all the dough balls are finished.
  9. Serve it with a dollop of butter and curd / pickle.

    Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

    Image
    It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

    Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

    Image
    P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
