Health Benefits of Upwas Bhajani

There are numerous health benefits to consuming upwas bhajani during fasts and they are:

• Upwas ingredients are always light on the stomach and easy to digest

• Upwas bhajani ingredients pack in a lot of macro and micronutrients essential to the body. 

For example, rajgira flour (amaranth flour) is rich in proteins and dietary fiber. It is also rich in iron.

Peanuts are high in Vitamins such as B1 and pack in a generous amount of protein too. They are rich in high-density cholesterol or good cholesterol as well.

Spices and herbs contain different nutrients. For example, kothimbir (kothmir or dhania or coriander) contains vitamins, iron, folate, and several types of antioxidants.

• Though upwas bhajani is high in carbohydrates, it is by far a healthier option than other standard snacks when consumed in moderate proportions.

Easy Katdare Upwas Bhajani Recipes

Other than sabudana khichadi and sabudana wada, possibly the yummiest upwas food (and easy to make) is the upwas bhajani thalipeeth. It is happy, tasty, healthy (just under 150 calories per thalipeeth), and super easy to make, what more could one want.

To make the Maharashtrian upwas bhajani thalipeeth you need:

• 2 cups Katdare upwas bhajani flour mix
• 1 large grated boiled potato
• 1 small bowl of coarsely crushed, roasted peanuts
• 1 small bowl of finely chopped coriander
• 1 small bowl of finely chopped green chilies
• Salt to taste
• Ghee (or oil) for shallow frying

Mix all the ingredients together and make a dough of roti-dough consistency with some water. Make equal-sized round balls from this dough and flatten them out on a banana leak or butter paper. In a shallow pan heat some ghee/oil. Shallow fry these flattened thalipeeths till there are thoroughly cooked. Serve with cucumber raita or dahi (plain yogurt).
