Thalipeeth

Description

Thalipeeth is a pancake-like bread belonging to the Maharashtrian cuisine of India. The batter is prepared with a base of Bhajani multi-grain flour, while cumin, chilies, coriander, turmeric, and onions are also added to the mix, making the dish slightly hot and spicy in the process. Thalipeeth is commonly served for breakfast with butter, yogurt, or curd, and it is characterized by a hole in the center. Hot oil is drizzled in the hole, making sure that the pancake is cooked evenly. Although the dish is mostly served for breakfast, it is also popular as a daily snack or a flavorful dinner, best accompanied by tomato chutney on the side. There are also some variations on the dish, such as thalipeeth with potatoes and peanuts, and thalipeeth with finely chopped vegetables.
