    3. Grate potato.
    4. Add grated potato, salt to taste, finely chopped green chillis, coriander leaves, peanut powder and 1 tsp sugar and knead to a soft dough.
    5. you can add oil to prevent dough from sticking to your hands.

    7. Add oil and cook on medium heat.
    8. Turn over and cook both sides till thalipeeth is golden brown.

    P.S.  this chapati or thalipeeth needs more oil to cook unlike normal chapattis.

    should we boil the potato & then grate it or just grate the potato & it will get cooked on tava?

    i guess usha has missed out to specify when the sabudana needs to be added. sabudana needs to be added in step4. ie Mix grated potato, green chillies, peanuts powder and sabudana with little salt(according to taste). To this if you add few cuminseeds and coriander leaves, it tastes better. Mix all these and make rotis. Potato and groundnut powder is a binding agent in this recipe. (I make sabudana thalipeeth like normal rotis ie with belan.)

    hi usha! ur dish is really too tasty...i made it often with little change in procedure like, i fried them deep in oil & called it 'sabudana wada'.

    Hello, this dish sucks lots of oil, i guess it is not healthy with oil ratio.

    hi kiran, you don't need to preheat the tava.just apply oil on your palm and make the roti on a cold tava and place it on heat.make a few holes on the thalipeeth to allow it to cook nicely.cool the tava befor making the second thalipeeth.you can also wash the back side of the tava to cool it faster. cheers!usha

    you did not mention when to add sabudaana and if we have to pre-heat the tawa and oil it.
