Ingredients
For the Crêpes
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Semolina Flour suji
- ½ ltr Milk
For the Filling
- 1 ½ cup Date Palm Jaggery
- ½ cup Coconut grated
- ½ cup Milk Powder
- ½ cup Ghee
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, all-purpose flour, and semolina flour.
- 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.
- Add the milk powder to the pan and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 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.
