KAKDICHE BHAKRI/THALIPETH/ THICK DOSA

KAKDI, that’s a Marathi word for our humble cucumber, this dosa , thalipeth or bhakari as we call it in goa is very famous and commonly done in goan houses for breakfast.

KAKDI OR CUCUMBER belongs to the same plant family as melons, pumpkins, and winter squash
Kakdi contains 95 % water and are low in calories; a cup of slices of cucumber contains fewer than 15 cal.


Without more delay let me go on to share with you the recipe of KAKDICHE BHAKRI

INGREDIENTS

2 Cups grated cucumber
1 cup wheat flour
1 cup rice flour
11/2 cup grated jaggery more if you like it sweet
1 cup grated coconut
Salt to taste
1tbsp cardamom powder
Ghee for smearing
Oil for shallow frying
METHOD

Its very simple
Just add all the ingredients and mix with water
The consistency should be right enough to spread it on a hot tawa or griddle.
Spread on the tava with your fingers dipped in water.
Pour a little oil along the sides and let it cook
Turn on the other side and let it turn into brown spots.
Let it become nice and crispy
Remove and spread a spoon of fresh homemade ghee on it.
And RELISH!!!!!!!

Hi,

A spicy version of the kakdichi bhakari was the breakfast staple back at home. My mom calls it 'tavsoli' - mom's maika is karwar & they call kakdi 'tavas' out there.

Really enjoyed your blog. esp. the goa temple photos - reminded me of the many pilgrimages to mangeshi/ mahalsa in childhood...thanks :)

Yes. I remembered seeing it. Today eveing on the way home, I visited one of my friend's place. To my surprise, his wife prepared thalipet for me. Then I casually mentioned about your post on Kakadiche Thalipet and there, she added Kakadi to the next helping. Thanks to you and to Mrs. Joshi.

I love cucumber dosa, tausaLi as we call it in Konkani. I use rava & wheat combo instead of rice & wheat, rest same as yours. Will make it your way next time.

She stays in Girgaum and she is so kind , on that day I had tuned up at last momemnt and the flour was almost over, yet she managed to prepared 2 thalipets for me, which was supposed to be for my friends. So many times they invite us for Pithale Bhakari, since I like it very much.
