Here we present you with one of Maharashtra’s most popular and nutritious delicacies! Made of whole grains, the Jowar Bajra Besan Thalipeeeth is rich in protein, calcium and iron.

You can also use the same combination of flours to make chapattis that are healthy and wholesome. Cabbage adds not just crunch but also a dash of vitamin C to this recipe, while chopped onions, coriander, chilli paste and spice powders give it an invigorating flavour.

Once you get the hang of it, you will find that the thalipeeth is not very tough to prepare. In fact, we have made the job easier by rolling the thalipeeth instead of patting it directly onto the tava. You just need to remember that once the dough is kneaded, the thalipeeth has to be prepared and served immediately, Otherwise, you will not get the right texture.

Enjoy this traditional Maharashtrian fare with Low Fat Curds .
