Patisapta: The Bengali take on English Pancake or French Crepe, I would say, our home made kheersha filling can easily beat the rest! ;)
Batter:
1. All purpose flour (deshi moida)- 1/2 cup
2. Suji or samolina- 2to 3 tablespoons
3. Rice flour (chaler gura)- 1/4 cup
4. Milk- 3/4 cup
5. Jaggery (melted gur)- 1/3 cup
6. Salt- tastewise (a pinch)
Khirsha (filling):
1. Evaporated milk (or very thicken milk)- 2 cup
2. Suji- 1/2 tablespoon
3. Rice flour- 1/2 tablespoon
4. Cinnamon & Cardamom- 2/3
5. Jafran (optional)- few strands
Process:
1. Mix all the ingredients for batter. It should be of a medium (not too thick or too watery) consistency. Rest it aside for 30 minutes while we make the filling.
2. Keep 2-3 tablespoons of milk separate and mix suji with it.
3. Boil the milk in medium shimmer. Gradually add sugar and rice flour. Keep stirring with a steady hand.
4. Slowly, this mixture will turn into a consistency of kheer. It should be thick, don't worry!
5. If you wish, at this point you may add sliced pista or almonds, but I like the kheersha plain.
6. Keep it in room temperature, let it cool down.
7. Heat a non stick pan now and brush it with little ghee/oil. With a ladle, pour batter mix on the pan. Swirl it over the pan to make a thin roti. Now its time to put the stuffing and gently fold it sidewise.
8. Patisapta is ready to serve!!!
ENJOY !! :)
