savoury pancake

Thalipeeth थालिपीठ, typical wholesome Maharashtrian dish, and easy to make. Quite simple. Usually it's made with a particular mixture of grains/sprouts roasted and then grinded coarsely. It's called Bhajani भाजणी. We make it at home sometimes, or buy a readymade packet. Every Maharashtrian household has its own recipe for this. 

When I don't have the ready mix, here is what I do. Mix jowar and bajra flours. Add coriander, salt, chili powder, dhania-jeera powder, finely chopped onion. Mix everything and adding water, make a soft dough. You should be able to pat it with hands. 

I pat it on a wet handkerchief, then it becomes easy to pick up and put it on the hot tawa. 

Cover and let it cook. Turn once the bottom is brown, let the other side cook. Serve with curd, white butter, chutney, anything. 

You can add any vegetables in it, like grated cabbage, radish, spring onion, methi, palak, beet, carrot, etc. It's a healthy and fulfilling dish. 

You can make it with any flours.
