Today, I’m sharing Thalipeet, a special Maharashtrian breakfast or snack that is quite popular in Maharashtra, Telangana, and Karnataka these three states in India. Growing up in Karnataka, I always enjoyed this recipe as a breakfast option or snack. Back then, there were no cakes, instant noodles, or packaged snacks in our small village; we relied on whatever my mother would make for us based on the availability of ingredients.
My mother was very clever and always found ways to keep us happy and healthy. Unfortunately, she passed away at a young age, leaving us with only memories of her.
Thalipeet was an easy snack that required no elaborate preparation or expensive ingredients; whatever we found at home would work. My mother would make a special flour from roasted multi-grains, and whenever we asked for a snack, she would use that flour to create delicious food. We never really felt the need to ask for any market-bought snacks.
This recipe I learned from my school time after mother passed away we would carry on our life and learned some from remembering mother's recipes and some from my neighbors.
Thalipeet is so easy to make only need practice for make this flatbread on a hot pan using hand palm.
in the beginning, I burnt my fingers often, but after a few months, I learned that and never had problems.
