Patishapta is a dessert item of Bengali cuisine. It is made by
flour, coconut and dates jaggery. It is an Indian pancake and very mouth
watering. This looks like famous South Indian dish Dosa. Sometimes it is made
by rice flour and rawa with the stuffing being made of coconut. But me and my
family like Patishapta made by flour with the stuffing being made from coconut
and dates jaggery. We also like the stuffing made by kheer or Sandesh. In that
case coconut is not required.
For Bengalis, Patishapta is a form of Pitha and forms an
integral part of Poush Sankranti festival. The festival is incomplete without
eating yummy dessert.
