Thalipeeth or thalipith is a savoury multi-grain flatbread popular in Western India, particularly in the state of Maharashtra. The flour for thalipeeth, called bhajanee, is prepared from roasted grains, legumes and spices. The ingredients include grains such as rice, wheat, Pearl millet, and jowar; legumes such as Chickpea, and urad; and spices, most commonly coriander and cumin seeds. When preparing the dough, other ingredients such as onion, fresh coriander, other and spices are added. Thalipeeth is usually served with butter (preferably made from domestic buffalo milk), ghee, or yogurt. While the dish is popular in Maharashtra it is especially popular in Marathwada, Telangana and North Karnataka. (All 3 regions were previously part of Hyderabad State)
In a variation from bhajanee, flour made from tapioca (sabudana) and rajgira (amaranth) is used to make a thalipeeth on Hindu fasting days.
