Sabudana Thalipeeth (thalipit)

Sabudana thaipeeth is a traditional recipe for upwas. This dish is from Maharashtra. This really good crispy, soft and spicy tiffin.

Preparation time :  8 hrs + 10 mins

Makes : 6

Ingredients :

Sabudana (or) sago (or) saggubiyyam : 1 cup

Boiled mashed potato : 2 ( or actually half the quantity of sago)

Powdered roasted peanuts : 1/2 cup

Roasted ground cumin powder : 1/4 tsp

Finely chopped green chili : 4 

Salt : to taste

Butter : 1 tbsp

Method :

Soak sabudana for 8 hours .
(Soaking time depends on type of sabudana you are using, i used small sabudana and i soaked them for just half an hour)
Take a bowl and mix all the ingredients, except butter.
Splash little water, water helps in binding the ingredients together.
Make a nice dough.
Divide dough into six balls.
Grease tawa(griddle) properly, if you don't grease it sago will stick to it.
If you use non stick tawa then you no need to worry a lot.
Take a plastic sheet, apply little oil to it, keep one ball on it and flatten it to make a round disk.
Apply oil to your hand, take thalipit from cover and place it on tawa.
With your finger make 3 - 4 small holes on it and put few drops of oil in those holes.
Cover and cook it over medium flame.
After 5 to 10 mins take the lid off, allow the moisture to dry.
Carefully flip it , cook other side for 5 to 10 more mins, but this time with out lid.
(cook on both side till you see golden brown colour)
Garnish with butter.
Serve hot.
Believe me you sure love it.
