Upasacha Thalipeeth

Yesterday was Ashaadi Ekadashi...also called motthi Ekadashi. Very special day for all Marathis. Most of the Maharastrians observe a whole day fast on this day. But most of the times, the fast turns into a feast :-) and we really enjoy fasting.

Yesterday, we also had a fast turned feast at my house with Sabudana Kichchdi for brunch, sabudana wada with hot chai for snacks and upasacha thalipeeth for dinner.

The Sabudana Wada recipe, I will post soon.

Below is the recipe for Upasacha Thalipeeth.



Upasacha Thalipeeth served with curd

Ingriedients:
Upasacha Thalipeeth Bhajani- 200 gms (I used from K-Pra(Pune) brand)
2 Potatoes - boiled and mashed
Peanut powder - 5 tablespoon
Chilli powder - 1 teaspoon
Curd - 2 tablespoon
Sugar - 1 teaspoon
Water - preferably warm
Ghee
Salt

Procedure:
1. In a mixing bowl, add the Upsacha Thalipeeth Bhajani, mashed potatoes, peanut powder, chilli powder, Sugar and salt.
2. Next add curd and mix well.
3. Next add sufficient warm water to prepare the dough and keep it aside for half an hour.
4. To prepare thalipeeth, make four balls of the dough.
5. Next take a pan and add 1 teaspoon ghee. Place one ball on the pan and pat it to form a round thin roti like structure. Apply little ghee to your hands while patting to avoid sticking.
6. Make a small hole at the centre and pour little ghee in it. Also add ghee from all sides.
7. Fry on a median flame without covering the pan. After 5 mins, turn the thalipeeth other way round, still maintaining the medium flame. Fry for another 3 minutes.

Thalipeeth is ready to be served. Put one teaspoon ghee over the Thalipeeth while serving.

Serve the delicious Upasacha Thalipeet loaded with ghee along with some curd.
