Cuisines all over the world, share many common aspects with each other. All Cuisines share many common cooking techniques, they have common food groups, some even have very similar dishes. Most cuisines have custards, dumplings, fritters, Wraps, pancakes etc.
Crepes are also there in most cultures and in Bengali Cuisine, the make a sweet crepe made with rice flour and its called PATISHAPTA.
I am taking a modern take on this traditional recipe and making Apple Cinnamon Patishaptas. Had recently shared this recipe with RJ Arvind on air on 94.3 Radio One one his show Arvind's Kitchen
For Patishapta
1/4 tin condensed milk
1 cup flour
2 tbsp rice flour
125 ml water
2 tsp Butter for frying
Mix all ingredients into a batter with coating consistency and whisk well to remove lumps
apply butter on a non stick pan with some tissue and make 10 crepes with the above batter of 6 inch diameter
For filling
2 diced apples
3/4 cup grated khoya / mawa / dehydrated milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon powder
heat apples and sugar till apples go soft and moisture evaporated making a semi chutney

cool the mixture and roll the crepes with this mixture
