Instructions

  • Boil some water, and add oil and salt. Add rice flour and stir properly to make a perfect dough. While making the dough, make sure the heat is low and no lumps remain.
  • Turn off the flame and transfer the dough to a plate. Knead the dough with your hand until smooth. Then take a very small portion of the dough and give it a shape like the picture given above.
  • Heat a pan and add milk. Bring it to a boil. Add cardamom and cinnamon. Add the Pitha to the boiling milk. The heat should turn low at this stage.
  • Boil the Pitha in milk for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Boil some water in another pan and add grated jaggery to it. Boil it until the jaggery melts and mix it with the water. Turn off the flame and bring it to room temperature.
  • Add the melted jaggery to the milk. Cook the Pitha for 5 minutes more.
  • Turn off the flame and serve. Decorate the dish with golden raisins.
