Today's Daycare Lunch Bag Yummies: Snack # 1: Sliced apple, blueberries and banana drizzled with honey .
Snack #2: Banana Chips ( !) and mini raisins
Lunch : Thalipeeth and tomato ketchup
Note: Thalipeeth is a traditional Maharashtrian snack/meal that is very quick, nutritious and tasty. Its a thick pancake made of a multi grain roasted flour called bhajani. Typical bhajani which can be made in advance, will have roasted flour of rice, wheat, ragi (millet), besan, jowar ( sorghum), cream of wheat (Rava), asoefetida, cumin and coriander powder. To the flour add chili powder, turmeric, salt, chopped onions and cilantro to make a pliable sticky dough.
I add chopped spinach when I make thalipeeth for Y. Instead of chili powder, I use the Hungarian red pepper powder which gives the traditional red color without any heat. This tip is from my BFF ..thanks PG.
will give Thalipeeth a try this wkend!
ReplyDeleteyummmmmmmmmmm..do we get ready mix flour for thalipeeth in indian stores ?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea I have bhajni at home. Will try it this weekend
ReplyDelete@PG..hope it works!
ReplyDelete@ Kavs....I haven't seen a ready mix. But you can easily make it at home. Roast and mix the flours and store in an airtight container.
