Navratri Vrat Sabudana Thalipeeth

Course Main Dish
Cuisine Maharashtrian

Ingredients
  

  • cup â…”sabudana
  • 2 medium or large potatoes boiled, peeled and mashed
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 4 tbsp peanuts roasted and coarsely ground
  • 1 tsp rock salt
  • inch ½ginger finely chopped or grated
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves chopped
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil or ghee as required for frying

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, rinse the sabudana well till you get transparent water when rinsing. Soak it overnight in water as much as the sago. Do not use more water.
  • The next morning, drain it really well to see that there is no water in it.
  • Boil and grate the potatoes.
  • In a bowl, add the soaked sabudana, potatoes and rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan and spread 1 teaspoon of peanut oil or ghee on the pan. I used ghee.
  • Grease your palms and take a ball-sized portion from the mixture and flatten it with your palms.
  • You can also flatten it on a plastic bag
  • Gently place the flattened round (Thalipeeth) on the frying pan. Keep it on medium heat or it will get burnt.
  • Fry it until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
  • Fry the rest of the sabudana Thalipeeth in the same way.
  • Once done, serve Navratri Vrat Sabudana Thalipeeth with chutney or fruity raita like I did.

Notes

  1. While soaking sabudana add only as much as the sago.
  2. Drain the soaked sago properly.
  3. Do not try to roll the discs very thin.
