  • Turn off the heat, strain the Jaggery water, and set it aside.
  • If you prefer, you can use sugar instead of Patali Gur/Date Palm Jaggery.
  • In a deep bowl, sift together Rice Flour and All-Purpose Flour, and mix Semolina with All-Purpose Flour and Rice Flour.
  • Gradually add the previously prepared Jaggery water to the flour mixture, ensuring a smooth and thick paste.
  • If needed, you can add a small amount of milk to the mixture.
  • It usually takes approximately 1 cup of Jaggery water and ½ cup of milk to create the batter.
  • Cover the batter and let it stand for 30 minutes.

Notes

Recipe Tips

  • In West Bengal, Patali Gur can be found during the winter months, both locally and in specialty stores outside the region. Since it is a seasonal item, it can either be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for year-round use.
  • To create a rice-free version of Patishapta, which is popular during Bhog, you can omit the rice flour altogether.
  • If you prefer a liquid Gur instead of solid Patali Gur, you can use Nolen Gur as a substitute. Just be sure to adjust the amount of water in the batter accordingly.
  • When using liquid Gur in the filling, it will require a longer cooking time to achieve the desired consistency.
