Upwas Bhajani 250 gm | उपवास भाजणी

The best way to fix yourself up with a wholesome mid-day upwas snack is with a little help from PIP'S Upwaas Bhajani. Made with a perfectly balanced combination of Rajgira, Sabudana, Bhagar & Jeera, the Bedekar Upwas Bhajani makes delicious Upwas Thalipith.

One of Maharashtra’s most loved breakfast and evening Maharashtrian snacks, the Thalipeeth recipe is different in every home. Some families add grated veggies or greens of choice. What’s common is the bhajani or mixed grain flour. A good bhajani stands out by roasting the grains to the right temperature. The same mix can also make Kothimbir Vadi (besan and coriander cakes) and Alu Vadi (rolled gram flour-lined colacassia leaves).

How to make Thalipeeth Recipe

1. In a bowl or pan take ½ cup jowar flour (sorghum flour), ¼ cup whole wheat flour (atta), ½ cup bajra flour (pearl millet flour), ¼ cup besan (gram flour) and ¼ cup rice flour.
2. Add ¼ teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds), ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and salt as required.
3. . Then add ½ cup finely chopped onions, ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves, 1 green chilli (finely chopped) and 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
4. Add 1 teaspoon oil.
5. Mix everything very well.
6. Then add water in parts and as required.
7. Begin to mix the dough.
8.  Continue to add water in parts and mix everything to a soft and smooth dough. Dough has to manageable, moist and very smooth.
9. Overall I added ¾ cup + 2  tablespoons water. Depending on the quality and texture of the flour, you can add less or more water.
10. Then wet a muslin cloth or a cotton kitchen napkin with water. Wrung the extra water and spread the muslin on the rolling board. The muslin should be moist. Also heat the tawa.

Making thalipeeth

1. Now take a portion of the dough. Roll in your palms and flatten it on the muslin cloth.
2. With your fingers gently press and flatten the dough to get a flatbread with ¼ inch thickness. While flattening you can sprinkle a few drops of water also on the dough.
3.  Make hole in the center or make 3 to 4 holes at the sides. This helps in frying the thalipeeth well.
4. Spread some oil on the tawa. The tawa has to be hot. So you can keep it on medium to medium-high flame. Regulate the flame as required.
5. Lift the muslin cloth and gently place it with the thalipeeth side touching the tawa.
6. Now carefully peel the muslin from the rolled thalipeeth dough.
7.  Peel carefully and gently as the tawa will be hot.
8. Sprinkle some oil in the holes as well as the edges.
9. Cover with a lid and let the thalipeeth cook for 2 to 3 minutes or till the base is golden and crisp. You can brown the base more if you want.
10.  The top side will also change in color and texture.
11. Turn over and continue to cook the second side also till you see some brown or charred spots on them.
12. Here is the cooked and well roasted second side of the thalipeeth. Remove and serve hot.
13. If not serving hot, then you can stack the thalipeeth in a roti basket or casserole, so that they stay warm. Prepare all the thalipeeths this way.
14. Serve thalipeeth recipe with white butter or fresh curd or pickle or thecha.
