Ingredients required for Sabudana Thalipeeth
- 100 gms sabudana
- 2 potato
- 50 gms peanuts
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 green chilli
- Rajgira flour
- 1 tsp lemon
- Salt
- Ghee
Cooking steps for Sabudana Thalipeeth
- 1Begin by using 100 grams of sabudana (sago pearls).
- 2Soak the pearls in water for nearly 3 to 4 hours, allowing them to soak the water and soften to form a dough that is ready to set.
- 3After soaking, drain the water from the soaked sabudana and put them aside.
- 4Boil two medium-sized potatoes until they are soft and easy to mash. Peel the potatoes afterwards and mash them well without lumps.
- 5The mashed potatoes are also a binding agent that binds the sabudana and other stuff while enriching the texture and taste of the sabudana thalipeeth.
- 6Now mix all the soaked sabudana in a large mixing bowl along with the mashed potatoes.
- 7Now add 50 grams of crushed peanuts for a delightful crunch and nutty flavour.
- 8The peanuts also enhance the nutritional value of the sabudana thalipeeth, by providing protein and healthy fats.
- 9Take two green chillies and chop them very finely. Add them to the mixture for a mild spiciness.
- 10Throw in a handful of coriander leaves, which will add a fresh, herby flavour to the dough.
- 11Add one teaspoon of cumin seeds, which bring a warm, earthy flavour to the dish.
- 12Season with salt, and finally, squeeze in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to balance all the flavours with the tanginess of the lemon.
- 13Now, put together all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. The mixture should be kneaded thoroughly to form a dough.
- 14The dough is supposed to be soft and somewhat sticky, though if it is too moist or hard to knead, you can add a little rajgira flour (amaranth flour) to hold the ingredients together.
- 15Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the size of the sabudana thalipeeth you want to make. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it in your palms to form a round, thick disc.
- 16Thicker sabudana thalipeeth is perfect for this; you can adjust the thickness according to your preference; however, thinner ones will crisp up more quickly.
- 17Heat a tawa or non-stick pan over medium flame. Place the sabudana thalipeeth on the pan. Brush a little ghee around the edges of the sabudana thalipeeth so that it roasts evenly and gets a golden brown colour.
- 18Cook in medium flame by poking in between softly with a spatula; when it turns golden brown on both sides.
- 19Sabudana thalipeeth is ready to serve hot from the pan.
