Today I show you, how to prepare Bhapa Pitha

Items.
1 cup parboiled rice
2 tbl spoon store bought rice flour
Pinch of salt
water mixed

Procedure :

  1. Soak the rice at least 3/4 hours .

  2. Drain the water and let the rice drained out well .

  1. Mix some water and milk. Around 1/3 rd cup . Add salt and sprinkle water+milk in a way that the flour must seem wet , not dry at all .Neither it should look like batter. Don’t add the liquid at a time . You may not need that much liquid . If the flour binds together if you hld some of them in your palm , the flour is ready . It must not be dry that it doesn’t hold together . If the flour is dry, the pitha will break apart .

  2. Now sieve the flour through the
    stariner.Take two pieces of clean cotton cloth and two small bowls .

6 . In the bowl spread some flour then add the coconut and jaggery .
Cover it with another layer of flour.Don’t press too much or else it will break down while placing it for steaming .Cover it with a piece of cloth and put in the steamer. Tap the bowl slightly so that you can remove the bowl easily.

  1. Remove the bowl and cover the pitha with the remaining ends of the cloth .

  2. Steam for 4/5 minutes . Prepare the same way using the the other bowl and cloth.You remove one pitha and place another.
