What is Thalipeeth Bhajani?
Thalipeeth Bhajani is a roasted multigrain flour blend traditionally used to make Thalipeeth — a soft and flavorful flatbread from Maharashtra.
The flour is usually prepared using a combination of:
-
Jowar (Sorghum)
-
Bajra (Pearl Millet)
-
Wheat
-
Rice
-
Chana Dal / Gram
-
Moong Dal/Whome Moong
-
Udad Dal
- Mild spices like cumin and coriander
Each ingredient adds its own taste and nutrition, making the flour naturally balanced and nourishing.
Unlike refined flour mixes, Bhajani keeps the goodness of multiple grains together in a simple traditional form.
