My love for the popular Maharashtrian dish Thalipeeth started in Belgaum. They are healthy, very delicious  and the best part is, they are easy to make. As much as I love the thick bhakris and thalipeeths, V is not such a big fan. I have been trying to make different types of these bhakris/thalipeeths lately in the hope that he will start liking them some day. That would also give me loads of easy options for breakfast.
One of my favorite ingredients to experiment with is vermicelli. Somehow I keep reaching to the vermicelli jar. I make simple upma, vegetable upma, idlis etc with it. Recently I tried this thalipeeth with vermicelli and it turned out delicious. The best part for me was, the child loved it.
Here is a thalipeeth recipe that I used to make frequently. Check out Nupur’s thalipeeth recipe.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup vermicelli
3/4 cup sooji/rava
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbl spn chopped coriander leaves
1/4 cup fresh/frozen coconut
1 tea spn chili powder
1 tea spn cumin seeds
1/4 cup yogurt
Oil/Ghee
Salt
Method:
Heat a little oil and fry vermicelli, sooji till they slightly turn brownish. Keep them aside till the mixture cools down to room temperature.
 
 
 
Add rice flour, wheat flour, onion, coriander leaves, coconut, cumin seeds, yogurt, salt, chili powder to the vermicelli mixture. Pour in a little water to make a thick mixture.
 
Heat a tava and spread some oil/ghee on it. Then with your fingers, spread a thick thalipeeth on the tava. Close a lid and let it cook. Then turn it upside down and spread little more oil/ghee near the sides (optional, this makes it crispy).
Serve hot.
Serves : 2-3
Preparation time : 30 mins
These look really nice, very unusual. I am a great fan of Thalipeeth- the ultimate power breakfast isn’t it? Love the way you have experimented with vermicelli in this recipe. I would have never thought of it. Keep up the good work, Shilpa.
Thank you Vaishali. Let me know if you try this recipe
A good innovative mind seriously!! Thalipeeth is a very good food which is usually liked by most!! I usually would do it and bake it till roast which would enhance the taste and to decorate it, I would just make a small hole in the middle. I need to try this vermicelli too. I just loved the pictorial representations along with the explanation. I have already ordered all the ingredients required from http://qusec.in/. Hope to try it very soon. Thanks for such a new thought provoking recipe…
Thanks Lakshmi, let me know if you try it.
This looks like a version if dhoddak
I have tried this recopies today. test is good but while eating it became very much dry. i had taken all Ingredients same as per you suggest. but don’t know why it so so dry while eating.
Vaishali, thalipeeth are usually a bit dry. But if you want to make them soft, add more coconut and yogurt. Also make sure vermicelli and rava are fried well
