Upvas Bhajani Pith, also known simply as Bhajani or Upvas Bhajani, is a special flour mixture used in Indian cuisine, particularly in the state of Maharashtra. It is primarily prepared for fasting or upvas, during religious festivals or specific fasting days, when certain grains and ingredients are restricted. Upvas Bhajani Pith is a versatile mix used to make various fasting dishes.
The composition of Upvas Bhajani Pith can vary, but it typically includes a combination of flours and grains that are allowed during fasting periods, such as water chestnut flour (singhare ka atta), rajgira flour (amaranth flour), sama rice flour (barnyard millet), sabudana (tapioca pearls), and other ingredients like cumin seeds, salt, and sometimes groundnut flour.
To prepare dishes with Upvas Bhajani Pith, you can make a dough or batter by mixing it with water and then use it to create various fasting-friendly foods like thalipeeth (pancakes), bhajani chakli (a type of snack), and other treats. These dishes are suitable for those observing fasts and dietary restrictions as they do not contain grains like wheat, rice, or pulses. Upvas Bhajani Pith is an essential ingredient for making these fasting dishes and adds flavor and texture to the recipes while adhering to the dietary guidelines.
