There are sweets which is occasional as well and generally made during winter.Such sweets are known as 'Pithe'. There are so many verity of Pithe that it is impossible to teach them all at one go. What we will learn today is actually a pithe which was originated in Bangladesh and very famous in Bengal as well. It is known as 'Golap Pithe' or Rose Sweet. Such 'Pithe's are generally home made and hardly found in shops.So lets start making this.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2-3 green cardamom(elach)
  • 2-3 cup oil to deep fry

  • When the milk start boiling and the oil in it and mix it really well.Then switch off the gas, beat one egg roughly and pour it in the milk.The moment you add the egg start mixing it in the milk instantly  otherwise it will form lumps. Now after mixing it add the flour and mix it with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Now knead it really good to form a tough dough. Do not make the dough too hard or too soft.You can add water or flour to make it right.
  • Divide the dough in two half and roll it very big and thin with the help of a roller. Remember the the thinner you will roll the better it will be.
  • Now with the help of a cookie cutter or coffee cap, cut circles from it.

  • Now form the rose. Please refer my below video to form the rose.






  • After that, deep fry those roses very carefully in medium heat for about 5-7mins or till it become light brown.
  • Now deep those into sugar syrup and keep it there for 5-6 mins and let it cool down.
  • Then your crunchy and juicy  Golap Pithe is all ready to eat.
