Earrings galore....

ICC- Patishaptha..yay

The first time I had this gorgeous Bengali sweet- was at my friend SD's place a long time ago on Diwali (I think!). I knew then that if opportunity presented itself, I would definitely make it. And I did- thanks to ICC this month. It is an eggless crepe called patishaptha and like other crepes and pancakes, the possibilities of various fillings and toppings can put your imagination and creativity to test. I followed the recipe from here , just halved the recipe and added some spices of my own Ingredients For the crepe batter 1 cups AP Flour 1/8 cup Semolina 1/2 tbsp Rice Flour 2 cups Whole Milk pinch of salt about 2-3 tbsp vanilla flavored confectioners sugar For the filling 1 1/2 cups frozen grated coconut  1/2 cup frozen khoya 1/2 cup raw sugar 1 1/2  tbsp Milk 1 tsp Cardamom Powder / 3-4 Cardamom Pods Method To make the filling In a saute pan, mix the grated coconut and raw sugar on a simmer and stir continuously Add the khoya, milk
