Assalamu Alaikum friends. I hope you all are well by God's grace. Today I will participate in an excellent contest organized by @malikusman1, the respected admin of the Steem4Bloggers community. The content is Tell us about your favorite sweet dish in winter.

Now that winter is going on. So our traditional food in Bangladesh during winter is Pitha. There are many types of backs in Bangladesh. For example, steamed pitha, oil pitha, coolie pitha, chitai pitha, patisapata pitha, etc. Out of these, my Vapa Pitha is my favorite. So today, I am sharing my favorite winter sweet dish Vapa Pitha.

Some facts about Vapa Pitha :

Vapa pitha is a traditional pitha of Bangladesh, which we eat mainly in the winter. It is usually prepared by steaming rice flour with steam. I add jaggery and coconut shells to sweeten the food. It is considered a rural snack, but this dish has become popular as a portion of food mainly for the people of the city.

Method of preparation of Vapa pitha:

• Ingredients I need to prepare: :

Materials	Measurement of materials
Rice powder	One kg
Date jaggery	Half a kg
Grated coconut	Four bowls
Salt	to taste
Water	Like the amount

• Preparation :

Mix the rice powder with little salt and water and knead well. Then sieve it with rice flour.

• Preparation Method:

Making Vapa pitha is a trick as it is made with the help of steam. A half inch round hole should be made in an earthen pot and the mouth of the pot should be closed well with glue and the pot should be placed in the oven to boil with half water. After that, in a small bowl, kneaded rice powder, then grated coconut, then I will wrap the face of the bowl with a thin cloth.

Then put the Vapa pitha in the hole of the boiling pot and wait two minutes for it to boil. After that my hot Vapa pitha will be ready. When the jaggery falls out of the cake after cooking, the jaggery peeking through the gaps between the white rice powder looks very nice which I like very much.
