Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix the rice flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until you have a smooth and fluid batter, without any lumps. ≈ 4 min
  2. Cover and let rest for about 30 minutes to allow the dough to thicken and the pitha to become softer.
  3. Heat the cast iron skillet over medium heat, and lightly oil each well.
  4. Mix the dough again, then pour it into each well. Cover with the lid. ≈ 4 min
  5. After about ten minutes, lift the lid and turn the pithas over using the back of a spoon or a small stick. If they come loose easily, they are ready. ≈ 3 min
  6. Serve the pithas very hot, with a side of nolen gur (palm jaggery syrup). ≈ 2 min
