Patishapta Recipe

Patishapta Recipe:

Among all the pithas(Bengali sweet dish) patishapta is one of my favorite.I still remember the good old days when my mom used to make them during sankrati festival.It is easy to make ,some people use kheer for the filling ,but I prefer the coconut filling.Use non stick pan so that the batter does not stick to the pan while folding.Once you eat it you will surely love it.Enjoy... :)
