PATISHAPTA is a traditional Bengali Pithe mostly prepared on festivals and specially during winters. Its a mandatory preparation on Makar Sankranti.
It is a light and soft crepe filled either with kheer or coconut filling.
I have filled with coconut filling and the crepe is a combo of maida and sooji.

Steps

30 - 40 minutes

1

In mixing bowl, add maida + semolina + sugar + milk and mix nicely. Keep in rest for 20 minutes.
2

Grate / scrape coconut, in pan add coconut + sugar + milk + cardamom powder, mix well and cook till coconut gets cooked and turns thick.
3

Cook till moisture evaporates.
4

Now coconut filling is ready and transfer to a plate or bowl and let it cool.
5

Now have to check the batter consistency, it should be of flowing consistency but on the thicker side.
6

Take a non-stick pan / tawa, heat it moderately, grease it little oil, add 1 ladle of batter and spread as much as it spreads in round shape. The batter starts bubbling as it cooks.
Place 2 tbsp of filling on any one side of it leaving half inch from edge.
7

Now fold it very gently and cover the filling, most probably it requires two folds. Let it cook properly till it turns slight golden brown and cook the other side too.
8

Follow the same process for rest of the batter. Now Patishapta is ready to serve.
9

Garnish with raisins or cashews and serve.
It tastes much better the following day
