Upwas Thalipeeth (उपवास थालीपीठ)

Ingredients

Serves 6

• 2 cups Sanmati Upwas Bhajani
• 2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• Rock salt (sendha namak) to taste
• Ghee or oil for roasting

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine Sanmati Upwas Bhajani, mashed potatoes, green chillies, coriander, cumin seeds, and rock salt.

2. 2

   Knead into a soft dough using minimal water. The potato helps bind the flour.

3. 3

   Divide into 6 equal portions. Place each portion on a greased plastic sheet or banana leaf.

4. 4

   Pat gently with wet fingers into a round thalipeeth (about 5–6 inches diameter).

5. 5

   Heat a tawa and carefully transfer the thalipeeth onto it. Apply ghee on top and around the edges.

6. 6

   Roast on medium flame until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Serve hot with curd or peanut chutney.
