Step-by-Step Recipe:
Step 1:
Roast sesame seeds in a dry pan until golden brown. Set aside for cooling.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing basin, add rice flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead until smooth. The consistency should be strong yet malleable.
Step 3:
Make the Filling - Combine toasted sesame seeds, jaggery, and coconut to make a sweet and nutty filling.
Step 4:
Roll Out the Pancakes - Roll a small quantity of dough into a ball. Flatten it with a rolling pin to create a tiny disc.
- Put a tablespoon of the sesame-jaggery-coconut filling in the center.
- Fold the dough's edges over the filling, sealing it to create a stuffed pancake.
Step 5:
Cook Til Pitha - Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Carefully place the packed pancakes in the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy.
- Once cooked, remove the Til Pitha from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the warm Til Pitha with a nice cup of tea or as a sweet treat at special occasions.
