Jowar Thalipith with Green Onions

jwari Thaalipeeth
Along with rice and wheat, Jowar or Sorghum is also a staple in some regions of India. Jwari Bhakri or Jolada Roti is a popular flatbread in Maharashtra and Karnataka. Thalipeeth is similar to a pancake and is made of a variety of flours.

Ingredients:
Jowar/Sorghum/Jwari/Jola Flour - 1 cup
Rice Flour - 1/4 cup
Green Onions/Scallions/Kandyachi Path - about 1 cup
Green Chili Paste - 1 tsp
Cumin/Jeera Seeds - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Salt 
Oil


How to cook Marathi Jwari Thaalipeeth:
  • Finely chop green onions, both white and green parts. Finely chop green chilies or use green chili paste. You can use red onions instead of green onions.
  • In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients except oil. Add water, little at a time and mix to form a soft dough. Divide the dough into 5 round balls.
jowar Thalipith
  • Grease a plastic wrap with oil or cooking spray. Place a dough ball in the center of the plastic sheet. Using your fingers, spread the dough ball into a round pancake.
  • Heat a griddle/tawa and add few drops of oil. I used a cast iron flat pan. Spread the oil evenly. Carefully flip the pancake on your palm and place it on the hot griddle. Drizzle little oil if required. Cook the pancake covered for a couple minutes until both sides turn slightly brown. Cook it longer if you like it more crisp.
Serve Jwari Thalipith with curds and/or butter.  I like it with Dry Chutney.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
