🧾 Ingredients Required

🥞 For the Patishapta Batter

• ½ cup rice flour

• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (maida)

• 1 cup milk

• ½ cup water (adjust for consistency)

• A pinch of salt

  
  

🥥 For the Filling (Pur)

👉 Tip: For authentic flavor, always use chemical-free Nolen Gur sourced directly from Bengal.

🍳 Step-by-Step: How to Make Nolen Gur-er Patishapta Pitha

🔸 Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, mix rice flour, maida, salt, milk, and water. Whisk until you get a smooth, thin, lump-free batter — similar to dosa batter.

Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.

🔸 Step 2: Prepare the Nolen Gur Coconut Filling

Heat a pan on low flame. Add grated coconut and sauté lightly.

Now add Nolen Gur and stir continuously. Cook until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.

Add cardamom powder and switch off the flame. Let it cool.

🔸 Step 3: Make the Patishapta

Heat a non-stick pan and lightly grease it.

Pour a ladle of batter and swirl gently to form a thin crepe.

Cook on low flame until the base sets (do not flip).

Place a spoonful of the Nolen Gur coconut filling on one side and gently roll.

Repeat for remaining batter.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm for best aroma
