Winter pitha with date gur

খেজুর গুড়ের শীতের পিঠা

Steamed bhapa pitha and syrupy patishapta, eaten hot on cold mornings.

In the cold months, homes and roadside stalls make rice-flour cakes filled or soaked with new date gur. Bhapa pitha is steamed in small pots with coconut and gur inside. Chitoi pitha comes with hot gur syrup, and patishapta are thin crepes rolled around sweet filling. Look for stalls near bus stands and bazars in the evening.
