Bhapa Pitha is a delicate and sweet rice cake that takes a bit of patience to make. It can fall apart easily. Once mastered however, the dish is a wonderful dessert. In Bangladesh Pitha’s come in all forms, they can be steamed, baked or fried. Many times these are eaten along side vegetables and curries without the sweet filling. This recipe eliminates making the rice flour from scratch which would normally be done in Bangladesh, the result using store bought rice flour is said to be nearly identical. Enjoy!
