Patishapta Pitha is known for its creamy kheer and soft outer roll. It is a most popular Bengali pitha or dessert that is made during the Winter. ■ "Patishapta (পাটিসাপটা) Pitha" Recipe: ► Ingredients: • 250 grams Sooji (Suji or Semolina) • 400 grams White flour (Maida) • 200 grams Sugar • 300 grams Kheer (Khowa) • 3 tablespoon Cooking oil • 1 liter Milk ► Method: • Condense the milk by constantly boiling and stirring. Add Khowa along with 50 grams of sugar to make it easier to turn the same into semi liquid state. Note - If khowa is not available then add more milk. It will take a lot of time to change to a semi-liquid state. • Add water( about 2 -2½ cups) gradually in maida and suji to make a thick mix. Add 200 grams of sugar. • Heat the frying pan and coat the surface of the pan with little oil. Apply oil with a piece of eggplant or bottle gourd or a piece of cotton. • Pour the suji-maida mix about (about 5 table spoon) on the hot pan and spread the mix on the pan till it takes a circular shape. • Put about 1 tablespoon of the semi liquid kheer on the over the spread. • Roll the spread like bread roll after 15-20 sec. Keep the roll on the pan and flip sides every 5-10 secs till it turns brownish. ■ Recipe & Photo Courtesy: Deeganta Banerjee
