दुधी भोपळ्याचे थालीपीठ

Preparation :

1. Mix all the ingredients with some water and make a soft dough. 
2. Take a thick plastic paper or a wet cloth, (If plastic paper used, oil it generously).
3. Divide the dough into small balls and line it on the cloth or plastic paper by patting the dough ball with the palm of your hand. Make holes in the thalipith to avoid puffing. Meanwhile, heat the non-stick pan on gas. Grease it with some oil. 
4. Take the thalipith in your palm carefully and place it on non-stick pan. Smear few drops of oil in the holes. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Turn and cook both sides till crisply cooked.
5. Serve hot with yogurt or unsalted butter(Ghee) or a blob of homemade white butter(Loni/Makkhan). It tastes yum!!

Notes : 

1. If you like you can add flour and vegetables of your own choice like cabbage or leafy vegetables like spinach, Fenugreek leaves(Methi) etc. 
2. I like the soft thalipiths so I don't use chickpea/gram/rice flour. You can add if you want.
