Patisapta: Traditional Pancake of Bangladesh

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 !!  :)
