Kondule /Dahi Dhapate/ Maharashtrian Dhapate/paratha/ Mix grain flat bread also known as kondule in Marathi. These puris are a very healthy snack. Be it tea time , travel or evening snacks they are a perfect menu every time. Just like the kanda thalipeeth and the kothimbir vadi these puris are made with bhajani which is made by mixing various grains and flour. Also check our other Maharashtrian recipes on the blog links below
This is authentic and a famous bread from the Maharashtrian cuisine. Growing up in Maharashtra we had a lot of kondule. My grandma and my mom makes the yummiest kondule. Traditionally it is fried and made with a combination of 5 or more grains and millet.
These little Puris are enjoyed with fresh yogurt, pickle, hot tea and fresh cream or curry of your choice. We usually had it with Loni / Makkhan (Fresh cream derived from the fat accumulated on top of the creamed milk). Also check recipes of veg puff /pattice and cream rolls to be served with tea time snacks.
What goes in kondule
These flat puris are made with a multi grain flour called as bhajani. We add a number of spices to make it flavourful. A considerable amount of oil (moyan) and non flavoured yogurt goes in this dough. This helps the puris to remain soft and crisp.
The multi grain flour used to make is popularly known as bhajani which is made from rice, wheat germ seeds, Jowar, bajra, ragi and lentils like chana Dal and corn (optional). They are lightly roasted and grounded to form a flour. I used the bhajani that my mom made. You can even buy it in any Indian grocery stores.
Storing the kondule
Kondule are fried puris and contain yogurt. Due to which if kept at room temperature they can stay fresh up to 3 days enclosed in an airtight box. If refrigerated they stay good for a week. They taste the best when consumed fresh and hot!
Substitute for mix grain flour/Bhajani
- Mix the following flours to make bhajani
- ½ cup rice flour
- ½ cup chickpea flour
- ½ cup jowar flour
- ½ cup bajra flour / ½ cup cornmeal (optional) For Vegan and gluten free
- ½ cup wheat flour
- ½ cup of poha grind to a fine powder
- (You can skip 1 or 2 ingredients and increase the quantity in proportion with what you have)

Instructions
- Take 2 cups of flour in a mixing bowl.Add yogurt / avocado , and all the spices, salt and coriander leaves and mix it.
- Add water with turns to knead the dough. The dough should be soft than the regular if we are making these by pressing our fingers.orWe can knead a dough little harder like for our regular puris if you want to roll with a Rolling Pin.
- On a rolling board line up a parchment sheet. Apply water to it.
- Make small balls of the dough and place them on the parchment paper. Now start pressing it with fingers gently. It's sticky so you need to wet your palms and fingers everyone you make one.orFor rolling pin Make the hard dough balls and roll them between two parchment papers.
- Then you can either carve a hole in the middle of the Puri or leave it.
- Heat oil in a wok.Add about 3-4 Puris depending upon the wok size and fry them golden brown on medium slow and high flame.* Do not leave the flame high as it will get brown soon and remain uncooked inside.
- It is ready to joy with your choice of dip.
Notes
- It’s raining here today and I served it with the sides of a warm cup of tea.
- It’s a perfect snack and nutritious too.
- You can make it with coriander, Fenugreek(Methi)leaves or even kasuri methi but in less quantity.
- With all types of grains and millet it’s high in protein and rich in fibers.
- It’s even gluten free if made without wheat flour.
- Vegans can skip yogurt and replace it with mashed avocado or add a non dairy yogurt..
- It’s deep fried but you are allowed a few cheat days
- Especially cold rainy days are incomplete without hot fried fritters.
