Sabudana Thalipeeth (Sago Chapatis) My 150th post :)

I know you people might be wondering, just 150th post in 4 years!! I too felt the same way!!
Thanks to all for making it happen! This success of Neivedyam would not have happened without you guys:)



This beautiful world map caught my eyes in the food court of a mall in Bangalore:) Isn't it beautiful! Foodies like me admire such things!!



This is a very nice snaking item with some hot masala chai.

Ingredients

1 cup Sago (Soaked overnight)
2 medium potatoes (boiled,peeled and mashed)
2-3 green chillies
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 cup crushed roasted peanuts
2 tbsp fresh chopped coriander
1 tbsp cumin seeds
salt to taste
1 tsp oil
3-4 tsp ghee



Preparation

Mix together the sago, mashed potatoes, green chillies, chilli powder, roasted peanuts, fresh corander, cumin seeds and salt.
Divide the mixture and make small balls. Grease a plastic or polythene sheet with some oil.(milk packet is best)Place the sabudana ball on it. Flatten the ball with greased fingers into a thick round.
Heat a non-stick tawa and add a tsp ghee. Gently transfer the thalipeeth onto the tawa removing it from the plastic sheet. Cook, spreading both sides with a tsp of ghee till evenly light golden brown.
Serve hot with spicy chutney!!
