Sabudana thalipeeth recipe

Sabudana thalipeeth is an Indian flatbread made with tapioca pearls (sabudana / sago) and potato as main ingredients. In addition, crushed peanuts, coriander leaves and cumin, the flavor is irresistable.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup Sabudana (Sago/ tapioca peals - I used black pepper sized)
• 3 to 4 Potato (cooked, peeled)
• 1/4 cup Peanuts (roasted, peeled, crushed coarsely)
• 1 tbsp Rice flour (Rajgira flour/ singhada/ arrowroot for fasting)
• 1 Green chilli (finely chopped)
• 1/4 cup Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp Cumin seeds
• 1 tsp Lemon juice
• Salt (as needed)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Firstly, wash sabudana 2 times. After that, add water just to immerse all the sago.
2. 2Then, close and set aside for 4-5 hours.
3. 3Once soaked, there will not be any water, more importantly, if you press the sago to check, it will get mashed easily.
4. 4Then, take soaked sabudana, potato (mashed well), powdered peanuts, green chilli, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, lemon juice and salt in a mixing bowl.
5. 5I used my IKEA potato press, but you can use hands to mash, but make sure to mash smoothly.
6. 6Mix well furthermore to blend the ingredients evenly.
7. 7Then, divide into 6-7 equal sized balls.
8. 8--- Shape thalipeeth ---
9. 9To begin with, heat the tawa and side by side take a ball of the thalipeeth dough over a well greased parchment paper. See note 2
10. 10After that, start spreading the dough by flattening it with your hand. Firstly make sure no cracks form as you flatten. Fix any that forms in the outer as you proceed. See Note 1
11. 11Once you flatten thin enough (same thickness as your sabudana) make couple of holes in the middle.
12. 12--- Cook sabudana thalipeeth ---
13. 13Then carefully inver it over the tawa. Put flame to medium or low and then pour oil to fill the holes. It will spread itself inside.
14. 14Furthermore cook slowly for long time for crispy result as well as to prevent breaking while you flip.
15. 15Once golden, flip and cook 2 more minutes. Add oil as needed for crispy golden results.
