Maharashtrian Thalipeeth
Thalipeeth is a healthy and tasty multigrain flatbread. I call this a Maharashtrian alternative to Thepla. They turn out thick in texture, and every bite has a sweetness and crunch from onions and spice from the chilies. Typically served with Thecha or Green chilly achar, this dish is a traditional delight.
