  4. Use your fingers to spread and flatten the dough into a thin, round pancake.
  5. Make a few small holes in the pancake to allow even cooking.
  6. Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the pancake and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until it’s cooked through and golden brown.

3. Serving:

  1. Serve the Kakdi Thalipeeth hot with yogurt, chutney, or pickle.
  2. Enjoy this crispy and flavorful Maharashtrian pancake!

Tips:

  • Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of green chilies.
  • Kakdi Thalipeeth can be customized by adding grated carrots, onions, or other vegetables for more flavor and nutrition.
