Dhapate is a multigrain roti from Maharashtra and is made by mixing all the grain flour along with spices and vegetables.
The first time when I read it, I thought this will be an excellent roti to enjoy and it is healthy too as we will be including so many different grains. This is almost similar to Thalipeeth.
I adapted this from Meera, who has a huge collection of traditional Marathi dishes. So when I had planned a Maharashtrian thali, I decided to make it. I know it was too early, however, I was planning on making Indian Flatbread in C4AS blog when I had planned on making AtoZ Explore the flavors during April.
When we decided we would do Flatbread for September, I saved it for this marathon. Apart from this, I had another one all done and ready. So you would notice that these pictures are different from the rest. I mostly plan all the pictures to be in the same pattern for myself to know which Mega BM it belongs.
Anyway, when I had made the thali, I had invited my parents for lunch and they enjoyed this flatbread. They said it tasted something very similar to what we have in Andhra yet the taste is different and delicious too.
The other Ds that I had on the list were Dhakai Paratha, Dahi Methi Poori, Dhebra, Doodh Paratha, Dry Fruits Meetha Paratha, Dim Paratha (with eggs), Dashmi Roti.
As I said since I was planning a thali, I had to make sure the bread goes well with the side dishes I was making. So I settled with Dhapate, which refers to both the dish and also slapping on the back in Marathi. I felt this name was given more so because the dough is taken between your palm and clapped about to make a disc.
So it is D for Dhapate in the A to Z Flatbread and More, where I am doing AtoZ Indian Flatbreads. If you are interested, check out what is D in the AtoZ Dosa Varieties.
