Easy Patishapta. 

Come January and patishapta and shankranti are upon us. We love to eat it during this month. Sid can eat Patishapta all day. My nephew Saurav (Paplu) is also a big fan. He can eat 5-6 at a time. 

Maida 2 cups
Suji 1 cup
Rice flour 1/2  cup
Sugar I cup
Milk 250 ml


Make a batter with the ingredients. It is best to let it be overnight. In the morning, spoon out 1 ladle full at a time on hot tawa and spread, much like a pancake or dosa. You can put a spoonful of filling and roll it up.

My filling is special and rare. I collect the cream from my daily milk to make ghee with it. The milk solid left after separating the ghee is what is called 'shor bhaja' in Bangla. I add sugar, desiccated coconut and 2 spoons of milkmaid to it. My special filling is ready.

You can serve the patishapta with a spread of milkmaid on top.
