Cucumber Pancakes serves as a very easy and healthy breakfast option. It is known as Kakdiche Thalipeeth in Marathi and Tavshyachi Bhakri in Konkani. Kakdi and Tavshe both standing for cucumber in Marathi and Konkani respectively.
It tastes best when served hot and crispy. You can also back it for lunch box, which would be then the softer version but yet delicious.
Ingriedients
Rice flour - 2 cups
Rava - 2 table spoon
Chopped Onion - 1
Grated Cucumber - 1
Chilli powder - half teaspoon
Turmeric powder - half teaspoon
Coriander leaves - finely chopped
Salt
Oil - for frying
Procedure
1. In a bowl, add all the above ingredients except oil and mix well.
2. The grated cucumber will leave water, so no need to add water to prepare the dough. If it leaves to much water, add some rice flour.
3. Make small round balls of the dough.
4. Next take a pan and add a pinch of oil. place one round ball on the pan. and pat it with your hand till it becomes round and thin.
5. Make a small hole at the centre and pour little oil in it. Also add oil from all sides.
6. Fry on a median flame. After 3-4 mins, turn the thalipeeth other way round, still maintaining the medium flame. Fry for another 3 minutes.
Kakdiche Thalipeeth is ready to be served.
Serve it hot with a dollop of butter or with green chutney.
Tips:
1. In case you are not comfortable patting the thalipeeth with your hands directly on the hot tawa, you can take a clean plastic and pat it on that. Once it is done, place it on the tawa and fry it as mentioned in the steps 6 and 7.
2.You can add green chilies instead of chili powder. I usually avoid green chillies for my little daughter.
