Steamed Rice Cake/Bengali Chitoi Pitha With Palm Date Jaggery

Written by on in Bengali Sweet, Desert, Misti
Hi friends,
Today we are making Chitoi Pitha – a traditional Bengali dish made with rice flour batter. The Pitha is very easy to make. The Pitha is served with liquid palm date jaggery which is only available in winter season. So Chitoi Pitha is generally made in winter. You can take this pitha with curry also.
