Instructions

Preparation:

  1. Soak the rice for two hours.
  2. After two hours drain all water.
  3. Pour the soaked rice into blender, along with salt, steamed rice and warm water as required.
  4. Blend then until smooth paste.
  5. Keep the batter into refrigerator for at least two hours, preferable to over night.

Method:

  1. Heat a chitoi pithe mold or cast iron wok on high heat.
  2. Reduced heat to medium.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup batter and cover it for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove gently the edges of pitha, then remove fully from wok.
  5. Repeat the same process to make all pitha.
  6. Serve hot with coriander chutney or meat.

Notes:

  1. I made this pitha with traditional way. No knead to grease the pan with oil. The oily flavor isn't taste too good. So, i avoid this.
  2. Another very important note-keep the batter into refrigerator at least two hours, otherwise it's not rise well.
