Ingredients
For the crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
For the filling:
- 1 cup khoya reduced milk
- 1/2 cup grated coconut
- 1/2 cup jaggery (or sugar)
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (like almonds or pistachios)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, water, sugar, and salt to make a smooth batter. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the khoya, grated coconut, jaggery, cardamom powder, and chopped nuts to make the filling.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin crepe.
- Cook the crepe for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift. Spoon some of the filling onto one half of the crepe.
- Carefully fold the crepe in half to cover the filling, then fold it in half again to form a triangle. Press gently to seal the edges.
- Cook the filled crepe for another 1-2 minutes until it's golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling to make more Pati Shaptas.
- Serve the hot Pati Shaptas garnished with extra chopped nuts and a drizzle of sweetened reduced milk (kheer), if desired.
- Enjoy!
