Bangladeshi cuisine means a lot of deep-fried dishes, including various cakes. We call them 'Pitha'. Making pitha is usually a complicated process. But not this one. I'm a lazy chef, you know. So I found the easiest one.

Let me share the process.

Take half a cup of semolina, one full egg, half a cup of sugar, or as per your taste.

Use 50/50 water and normal temperature milk to make the cake batter.

I used some black cumin seeds for extra flavor. You can add cinnamon powder, vinegar extract ie. I believe that would also add something extra.

Add as much water/milk you need to make the butter smooth.

Now heat a pan, put vegetable oil, use a spoon to pour the cake batter on the oil.

Fry the cake for one in a minute on both sides under medium flame.

And it's ready to eat.

Pour some honey or maple syrup if you want.

So easy, right?

I wouldn't say, it's something very delicious. But it's worth trying. Also, the ingredients are all healthy. So better than junk food in the afternoon, you can try this.

Sounds like the Bangladeshi version of a pancake :D
Will try it one day

It's really easy to make, we call it teler pitha, easy and shortcut...Thanks for sharing the recipe...

It's almost similar. But teler pitha usually made with rice flour, without egg and milk.
This is my innovation to include some healthy ingredients 😅
Have a good day 🌼☀️

The cake puffs up so much that you can fill it with delicious fruit and cream? I sometimes make kebabs, which are a yeast dough and they also puff up like that. You can fill them with vegetables, salad, a bit of tofu or meat and tzatziki.

Your process sounds great. I will try next time.
Thanks for sharing.
