Shinghada thalipith

 

शिंगाडा थालीपीठ (उपवासासाठी खास) रेसिपी

साहित्य:

• शिंगाड्याचं पीठ – 1 कप
• उकडलेला बटाटा – 1 मध्यम, किसून
• जीरे – ½ टीस्पून
• हिरव्या मिरच्या – 1-2, बारीक चिरून
• सेंद्रिय साखर (ऐच्छिक) – ½ टीस्पून
• मीठ (सैंधव / उपवासाचं) – चवीनुसार
• लिंबाचा रस – ½ टीस्पून (ऐच्छिक)
• कोथिंबीर – 2 टेबलस्पून, बारीक चिरून
• तेल किंवा साजूक तूप – थालिपीठ भाजण्यासाठी

कृती:

1. एका मोठ्या परातीत शिंगाड्याचं पीठ, किसलेला बटाटा, मिरची, कोथिंबीर, जीरे, मीठ, साखर आणि लिंबाचा रस एकत्र करा.
2. थोडंसं पाणी घालून मऊसर पीठ भिजवा.
3. एका प्लास्टिकच्या पेपरवर किंवा केळीच्या पानावर हाताने थालिपीठ थापा (थोडं तेल लावल्यास थापायला सोपं जातं).
4. तवा गरम करून थोडं तेल किंवा तूप घाला आणि थालिपीठ सावकाश शेकून घ्या.
5. दोन्ही बाजूंनी खरपूस सोनेरी होईपर्यंत भाजा.

परोसताना:
दही, श्रीखंड किंवा तूपासोबत गरमागरम थालिपीठ सर्व्ह करा.

टीप:

• उपवास नसेल तर त्यात बारीक कांदा, गाजर, किंवा शेंगदाण्याचं कूट घालून अधिक चविष्ट करू शकता.
• हे थालीपीठ उपवासात पचायला हलकं आणि पौष्टिकही असतं.

Rajgira sheera

 

राजगिरा शिरा (Rajgira Sheera) रेसिपी
उपवासासाठी योग्य, स्वादिष्ट आणि पौष्टिक

---

साहित्य:

• राजगिरा पीठ – 1 कप
• तूप – 3-4 टेबलस्पून
• साखर किंवा गूळ – ½ कप (चवीनुसार)
• दूध – 2 कप
• वेलदोडा पूड – ¼ टीस्पून
• सुकेमेवे (बदाम, काजू, मनुका) – आवडीनुसार

---

कृती:

1. तूप गरम करा:
   एका कढईत तूप गरम करून त्यात काजू, बदाम आणि मनुका हलके परतून बाजूला काढा.

2. पीठ भाजा:
   त्याच कढईत राजगिरा पीठ टाकून मंद आचेवर सोनेरी रंग येईपर्यंत भाजा. चांगला सुगंध येऊ लागतो.

3. दूध घाला:
   पीठ व्यवस्थित भाजल्यानंतर त्यात हळूहळू दूध घालावे. सतत ढवळत रहा जेणेकरून गुठळ्या होणार नाहीत.

4. साखर/गूळ घालणे:
   मिश्रण घट्ट होत आले की त्यात साखर किंवा गूळ घालावा. गूळ वापरत असल्यास गाळून घालणे चांगले.

5. सजावट:
   आता त्यात भाजलेले सुकेमेवे व वेलदोडा पूड टाका. एक-दोन मिनिटे शिजवून गॅस बंद करा.

6. सर्व करा:
   गरम गरम राजगिरा शिरा उपवासात किंवा नाश्त्यासाठी सर्व्ह करा.

---

टीप:

• गूळ वापरल्यास स्वाद अधिक चविष्ट लागतो.
• दूधाऐवजी पाणीही वापरू शकता, पण दूधामुळे शिरा मऊसर व गोडसर लागतो.
• उपवासात वरण न करता हा एक पौष्टिक पर्याय आहे.
