CHHANA

KHIR            

Method:

Use a strainer to drain out excess water from the chhana. Fry the chhana in ghee untill the colour becomes golden and then let it cool down. Keep 1 cup of milk aside and boil the rest to make a thick khir. Add the chhana and condensed milk in the khir and stir frequently. Add 250 gm. (approx.) of sugar/molasses and let it dry. Your stuffing is ready. Now take a bowl and mix powdered rice, suji and flour. Add luke warm water, rest of milk and sugar/molasses and make a batter of medium density. The proportion of water should be adjusted as per need. Blend it properly to break all lumps. Now heat a frying pan and grease it. Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it evenly. Fry it in low flame and then put 1 spoonful of stuffing inside the pancake and roll it to the end. Fry it properly so that the colour becomes golden brown. Repeat the process to make the other patishapta. You can serve with a topping of khir to make it delicious.
