  • Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps. Set the batter aside.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the date palm jaggery and grated coconut. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the jaggery melts and the coconut is fragrant.

  • Lightly brush a clean frying pan or griddle with ghee and heat over medium heat. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of the crêpe batter onto the hot pan, swirling to create a thin, round crêpe.

  • Once the crêpe is cooked through and lightly golden, place a spoonful of the palm jaggery filling in the center.
  • Fold the crêpe over the filling from both sides to create a wrap. Gently press the edges to seal.
  • Cook the filled crêpe for another minute per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Serve warm and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Palm is available in the autumn season.
  • Rest the batter for at least 20–30 minutes before making the wraps to allow the rice flour and semolina to hydrate fully, resulting in softer and more pliable patishapta.
  • Patishaptas are best enjoyed warm.

Expert Tips

  • For a sweeter filling, add a pinch of jaggery or a drizzle of date syrup to the palm extract mixture.
  • Experiment with different spices in the filling like cardamom, cinnamon, or nutmeg for a unique flavor profile.
  • If you don't have access to fresh palm, you can use canned palm puree or jaggery as a substitute.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover patishapta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently reheat them in a steamer or microwave for a few seconds before serving.
