This is one of my favorites! I like the presentation. Looks very nice.
Delicious thalipeeth. I have never tried using sabudana in flat breads. This looks so lovely. Need to try..
Normally we make vadas with this recipe..a thalipeeth with this sounds interesting..and seems like a must try.
Delicious thalipeeth. We love them too and make it sometimes though we don't follow any fasting diet as such since we don't eat anything other than fruits if needed, during fasting.
I seriously want to make this thalipeeth since a while, how beautifully they came out. Delicious.
Lovely setup. I make this on weekends for a brunch. I add a little yogurt to make this.
Perfect fasting recipe Sapana. I've never made thalipeeth with sabudhana and your tempting me to try these some time.
