Sabudana Thalipeeth is a popular Maharashtrian dish made with sabudana (tapioca pearls), roasted peanuts, and spices. It’s a crispy and flavourful pancake that’s commonly prepared during fasting or as a quick and delicious snack. Here’s how to make Sabudana Thalipeeth:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
  • 1/2 cup roasted and crushed peanuts
  • 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1 medium potato, boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • Salt to taste
  • Ghee or oil, for cooking

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Sabudana:

  1. Rinse the sabudana thoroughly until the water runs clear.
  2. Soak the rinsed sabudana in water for about 4-5 hours or until they become soft and pliable. Ensure there’s no excess water in the soaked sabudana.

2. Making the Thalipeeth Mixture:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the soaked sabudana, crushed peanuts, finely chopped green chilies, mashed potato, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and chopped coriander leaves.
  2. Squeeze lemon juice over the mixture and add salt to taste.
  3. Mix all the ingredients well to form a uniform mixture. The mashed potato helps bind the mixture.

3. Shaping the Thalipeeth:

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat.
  2. Grease your palms and the skillet with a little oil or ghee.
  3. Take a small portion of the mixture and place it on the skillet.
  4. Gently press and shape it into a round pancake. Ensure it’s not too thick to cook through.

4. Cooking:

  1. Drizzle a few drops of ghee or oil around the edges of the thalipeeth.
  2. Cook on medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  3. Flip and cook the other side until it’s cooked through and crisp.

5. Serving:

  1. Serve Sabudana Thalipeeth hot with plain yogurt, peanut chutney, or a side of green chutney.

Tips:

  • You can adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of green chilies.
  • If the mixture feels too dry, you can sprinkle a little water to make it more pliable.

Sabudana Thalipeeth is a delightful and crispy pancake that’s enjoyed for its unique texture and flavor. It’s a great choice for fasting days or as a tasty snack any time of the day.
