Now I am sharing with you a recipe for making cake which is oil fried-Cake (তেলে ছাঁকা চালের গুঁড়ার পিঠা). This cakes were made by me with help of my mother.
Hi @KalyanPal , thanks to share your recipe with us. But something else kept my attention , it was the name/word Pitha. Actually , I am from Banja Luka, Republic of Srpska , B&H. We have the meal in our nutrition called “Pita”. Pita, also known as pie, is a filled pastry made in homes and bakeries around many countries across the Balkans. Between the layers of dough, pitas are most commonly made with cheese, minced meat, greens, or baked without any stuffing at all.
In Bosnia we call it “pita” only if it’s made with chees, greens . But if it’s filled with minced meat we call it “Burek”. In Serbia and other countries across the Balkans you can here that people order Burek with cheese or meat . We say that all the pies are pies (feminine nouns) only burek is pie (Masculinenoun).
As a matter of fact Serbian and Sanskit have lots of words in common. For an example You can find it here https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/anthroscape/sanskrit-and-serbian-languages-t11608.html . Now, pitha/pita can be added to the list.
Hi @Zorica , thanks for showing interest in this food item.
I was late in replying you because I was gathering more information on Pita which you mentioned.
First of all, this food item- Cake has no appropriate english name so I can’t able to translate food name from Bengali language to English language properly. I directly write the exact name in English without translating.
The shops in our region West Bengal mark and level this type food item as Pitha (also they mark and level this items in Bengali language which is “পিঠা”).
As this two food items are totally different so no need to add Pitha in the list which you mentioned.
