Home made Thalipeeth Flour


                       Thalipeeth is a famous Maharashtrian delicacy. Its a healthy breakfast in most of the households. Today I am sharing with u my recipe for making Thalipeeth flour at home. You can make this dry flour in large quantity & use as needed.

Ingredients:
  • Wheat Flour 1 cup
  • Rice Flour 1/2 cup
  • Bajri Flour 1/2 cup
  • Juwari Flour 1/2 cup
  • Gram Flour / Besan 1/2 cup
  • Ragi Flour 1/2 cup
  • Urad Dal 1/2 cup
  • Salt to taste
  • Coriander seeds 4 tbsp 
  • Red Chili Powder 2 & 1/2 tsp
  • Turmeric Powder 1 tbsp.

Method:
  • Rub urad dal with a slightly damp napkin. Again rub it with dry napkin. This step helps in getting rid of the powder which is dusted on the dal.
  • Now dry roast urad dal in a pan for a couple of minutes on low flame. This helps in evaporating any moisture if there in urad dal. Let the dal cool down & grind it to a fine powder.
  • Similarly dry roast Coriander seeds in a pan for a couple of minutes on low - medium flame. Let it cool & grind it to a fine powder.
  • Now the most simple step. Mixing !! Mix all flours - wheat floure flour, bajri flour, juwari flour, gram flour, ragi flour, urad dal flour, coriander seeds powder, salt to taste, red chili powder & turmeric powder. Mix this well.
  • Now store it in an airtight container. Use as & when needed.
  • I will soon share the recipe of making thalipeeth from this flour.
