Bottle gourd Thalipeeth

Guest author: Gauri Naik

This is a very nutritional dish for breakfast made from Bottle Gourd and Rice flour. Bottle gourd is a veggie no one prefers but this dish no one can neglect. Try it out.

Ingredients

1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup grated bottle guard(Remove the skin)
Pinch of turmeric powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp ghee
1/3 cup finely cut coriander leaves
1/2 tsp jeera powder/cumin seeds powder
3-4 peppercorns
Salt as per taste
Oil for frying

First grate the bottle guard. Coarsely powder the jeera and pepper. Add the flour, coarsely powdered jeera and pepper, Ghee, coriander leaves and salt to the grated bottle gourd. As the bottle gourd leaves water, you need not add more water to make the dough. Mix all the ingredients well and prepare the dough to chapati dough consistency. Take a small ball and pat it on greased cold tava. Spread it like a pancake. Heat the tava and spread some oil around the pancake. Cook the pancake on both the sides till both the sides are brown and nicely cooked.

Serve hot with curds.
