This sweet dish is mostly prepared on the event of makar sankranti (or poush Sankranti). During winter, cold wind blow, people become little lazy and enjoy sunbath fullest. During this season, date jaggery is available in the market as a God’s boon to mankind. Particularly in Bengal, you can see new versions of all popular sweets from rasgulla to Sandesh. All of these are available in date jaggery flavor. People also made patishapta pitha at home with jaggery.

The process to make patishapta has two steps

The first step is the preparation of filling (pur) and the second one is the batter.

The filling what is used in any shop to make pati shapta pitha is mostly khoya kheer. But at home people make this in a different way. People use coconut, milk, dry fruits, khoya etc to make this. Date jaggery and cardamon are used to bring the mouthwatering flavor. You can use only jaggery for sweetness but here sugar is also added to reduce extra dark color.

Preparing of batter is most easy task but very critical because if your batter too watery or thick then that will not work. A smooth sticky kind of batter is great for pati shapta pitha batter. Rice flour, fine wheat flour and sugar are used to make a smooth batter. You can avoid sugar in the batter but if you are using sugar then use sugar powder, not that crystal sugar. You can always grind crystal sugar to make sugar powder.
