Ingredients

To make reduced sugar palm pulp

  • 1 ripe Sugar palm

To make the stuffing aka Taler Khirsha

  • 2 cup reduced sugar palm pulp
  • ½ cup coconut scraped
  • 2 Cup Jaggery
  • 250 ml milk full-cream
  • ½ Cup Semolina

To make the Crepe

  • 1 cup reduced sugar palm pulp
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup rice flour
  • cup semolina
  • 1 cup milk and extra
  • ½ cup jaggery
  • ½ tsp. salt

To fry the Patishapta

  • 2 Tbsp. Ghee

Instructions

Extracting pulp

  • Remove the crown from the sugar palm and discard the fibrous skin.
  • Now separate the sugar palm from the mid.
  • It will easily be separated and you will get 2 or 3 seeds covered with pulpy fibrous fruit.
  • Now sprinkle some water over a seed.
  • Take either a basket or a grater or an edgy container or bowl and start grating the fruit.
  • The fruit pulp will easily be separated from the seed while grating.
  • You can sprinkle water once in a while doing it.
  • Once done, strain the pulp to remove the fiber.

To make Filling For Patishapta

  • To start, grab a kadhai and pour in 3 cups of either taler mari or taler rosh.
  • Cook on low heat for five minutes to reduce the sugar palm extract and bitterness.
  • Afterward, turn off the heat and set aside one cup of sugar palm reduction.
  • Mix in ½ cup of milk to the reduction and cook on low flame for 2 minutes.
  • Add 2 more cups of milk and continue cooking on low flame for another 5 minutes.
  • Afterward, mix in 2 cups of Jaggery and cook on low flame for another 5 minutes.
  • Take out one-third of the mixture to create Taal Patishapta and use the remaining to make taler kheer. The recipe for taler kheer will be provided later.
  • Then, add ⅓ cup of Sooji to the ⅓ mixture kept for patishapta and cook on low flame for 2 minutes.
  • Lastly, mix in ½ cup of scrapped coconut to complete the stuffing for Taler Patishapta.

Batter for Patishapta Shell

  • In a bowl, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour and ⅓ cup of rice flour to create the batter for the Patishapta shell.
  • Begin by adding ½ cup of sugar palm reduction to a bowl, followed by ½ tsp. of salt (optional).
  • To sweeten the batter, mix in ½ cup of jaggery before adding 1.5 cups of milk in three parts while mixing.
  • Once the batter is semi-runny, add another ½ cup of sugar palm reduction and fold it lightly.
  • Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before proceeding to make Taaler Patishapta.

Making Taler Patishapta

  • Instead of a brush, consider using the stem of an eggplant to grease the pan with ghee.
  • If possible, use a non-stick pan for the best results when making crepes or pancakes.
  • Begin by applying Ghee to a pan.
  • Pour one ladle full of Patishapta batter, and spread it evenly to create a round crepe.
  • Keep the flame low and lightly spread the ghee to ensure even cooking.
  • Cover the pan with a metal plate or lid and cook for one minute.
  • After opening the lid, the edges of the crepe should be crispy and the Patishapta should be cooked.
  • Use a spatula to loosen it from the pan and add 2 tablespoons of Patishapta filling.
  • Flip the crepe and roll it up to create a wrap.
  • Place the Taler Patishapta on a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.
