Solution
In the flour of thalipeeth there is mixed flour of rice, daals and pulses. This flour gives carbohydrates and proteins. While roasting the thalipeeth, oil or butter is applied to the fry pan. Thus even fats are present in it. If greens are added to the flour, there would be vitamins, minerals like iron and roughage added to the flour. Curds also provide proteins, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins. Hence meals consisting of green veg thalipeeth eaten with yoghurt is a complete meal with all the food constituents.
