Servings 6 medium size thalipeeth

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup poha
  • ½ cup wheat flour
  • ½ cup besan
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2-3 chopped green chilli
  • ½ cup chopped coriander leaves
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • Pinch of hing
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp kasuri methi
  • ¼ cup water or as required
  • Oil for roasting

Instructions

  • Take 1 cup of poha and wash it. Transfer the washed poha to a mixing bowl, add 2–3 tbsp water, and let it rest for 2 minutes.
  • The poha will absorb the water; then mash it completely.
  • Now add ½ cup wheat flour, ½ cup besan, ½ cup chopped onion, 2–3 chopped green chillies, ½ cup coriander leaves, ½ tsp turmeric powder, salt to taste, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, a pinch of hing, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, and 1 tbsp kasuri methi. Mix everything well.
  • Add 4 tbsp water gradually and knead into a soft dough for thalipeeth. Do not rest the dough.
  • Take a medium-sized portion of the dough and shape it into a ball.
  • Now heat a kadai and add 1 tbsp oil. Place the dough ball and flatten it gently with your hand. Make a small hole in the center. Cook the thalipeeth on a medium-low flame until it turns crispy and golden brown on both sides.
  • Alternatively, grease a plastic sheet with oil, place the dough ball on it, and flatten it. Then transfer it to a small kadai with some oil and cook until crispy from both sides.
  • Prepare all the thalipeeth in the same way.
  • Serve poha thalipeeth hot with chutney or curd.

Notes

  • The proportion of flour should be equal to the poha.
  • Add a little water to bind the mixture; do not add too much.
  • You can use jowar flour instead of wheat flour.
  • Do not let the mixture rest, otherwise it will become too soft.
  • Cook the thalipeeth on a medium-low flame until it becomes crispy.
  • Poha thalipeeth tastes best when prepared spicy and served hot.
