Rava Thalipeeth

Thalipeeth in any form is one of my favourite snacks! I associate thalipeeth with a quick evening snack.. but ofcourse you can have it anytime of the day! Like I had it for lunch yesterday! :)

Thalipeeth.. whenever I think of thalipeeth I remember my mom making it on saturday evenings or my maid serving them for evening snacks. Mom had trained the maid very well, nothing close to my mom but nevertheless! :) The best was to have them when it was raining.. piping hot!!!!

Nowadays I make a lot of variations of thalipeeths.. packing them for my hubby for his mid evening snack. I will post them as I make them :)

Ingredients:

*All approx*

1 cup coarse Rava(sooji)

Water (just enough to cover the rava)

2 green chillies, chopped

1/2 onion, chopped

1 tspn ginger, chopped

3-4 curry leaves, chopped

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1 pinch sugar

salt to taste

Method:

• Mix all the above and keep aside for about 15 mins for the rava to soak properly. The rava puffs up just a bit.
• The consistency should be a lil thinner than idli batter. If needed add a lil more water.
• On a hot griddle, spoon a lil oil and spread the above batter and cover.
• When it starts sizzling, uncover and let cook for 2-3 mins more or till the bottom is cooked.
• Turn it over and let it cook further.
• The more you cook (on medium to low heat), the crisper it will become.

You can eat it as it is or with some butter or ghee!! Yummm...
