ABOUT Chaler Patishapta RECIPE

Chaler Patishapta is made by soaking Gobindobhog rice and than making a fine paste of it, stuffed with Patali gur infused grated coconut. This is a very delicate Pitha and need to be handled with great care, else it will break. It is also a little more fluffy and wholesome than the usual Patishapta and creamy from inside. The wrap is thick than the usual one as rice flour paste won’t spread much and thus it takes a little longer time to get cooked from inside out.

Instructions

Soak the rice in water for around 1-2 hours.
Drain the water and make a fine paste of the rice.
As the paste will be very thick, add some water to make it little diluted. Keep aside.
Heat a pan and add all the ingredients mentioned in "For Stuffing" section. On a low flame, stir until the ingredients mix properly and the coconut is little fried.
The stuffing should be sticky such that if you compress, it should stick together. Once it’s done, add ghee and give a quick mix. Remove it from the flame and keep aside.
Heat a tawa and coat it’s surface with a little oil.
Pour a portion of rice paste (4 table-spoon approx) on the tawa and spread it to make a circular shape.
Once the spread is little dried up, put the stuffing on the spread vertically.
Roll the spread with the help of a spatula and press mildly and cook for few second.
Remove it from the tawa and serve hot.
