Makar Sankranti is known as Poush Sankranti in Bengal and various types of Pathishapta, Pithe Puli and Payesh are cooked and eaten to celebrate the Makar Sankranti.

Among this Pathishapta Pitha is a very popular and traditional Bengali sweet roll with a filling inside.

The pancake is stuffed with the filling; made with coconut, khoya and date palm jaggery and the pancake is of rice flour and milk. This Indian cuisine tastes mild but very tasty.

I have fond memories of enjoying Pathishapta Pithe during Poush Mash followed by my birthday. My Mom use to make it almost every weekend or for any upcoming guest during winters. This is served on many auspicious occasions.

It is a yummy and super scrumptious dessert recipe and everyone at your home will like this for sure. Enjoy with warm tea.
