Vegetable Patishapta Pitha/Pan Cake~

Patishapta pitha is one of the most popular pithas in Bangladesh. It is even seen in the fast food store in the country. It is soft and melts inside the mouth easily. Bengalis are renowned for their love for anything sweet, be that rasugullo, sandesh, or any kind of pitha.

This is a traditional Bengali pancake recipe where the pancakes are stuffed with Kheer or khowa. But here I used vegetables instead of traditional ingredients.
