How are your friends? Alhamdulillah, today I have come to participate in the of this challenge is SLC-S28/W3-“Local Taste, Global Twist| Healthy Local Cuisine” contest. I would like to thank @ninapenda. for organizing today's contest. But let's start without further delay, friends.
• Tells us about the dish you choose to make healthier and shows preparation steps.
The recipe I will make today is very healthy, but it is a popular and favorite winter food in Bangladesh. Today I will make winter pitha, it has become a common habit that people in Bangladesh make in their homes every winter, and according to that recipe, I also get ready to make this pitha every year during winter. I will make milk pitha. Dudh Chitay Pitha is a traditional dish. It is very delicious to eat these dishes during the winter season in the village. Although many people in urban areas cannot prepare these dishes, in today's era, these dishes are available at very low prices in road , and people get the taste of these dishes from there. However, today I will prepare this dish with a slightly different religious flavor. Let's take a look at the whole recipe .

My selfie with the recipe
• What ingredients or cooking methods did you change?
The pitha I made today in milk can be made normally, but today I have added coconut flakes as a change in my cooking method. Many people make this pitha without coconut flakes, and it is also delicious to eat, but I have added some coconut as an extra, which will double the amount, and it will give a different taste that many people may not be used to. It will bring back the taste of the ancient historical food that I heard from some people in my grandmother's time who used to eat this coconut in their food and felt the great taste. I have used coconut flakes in today's recipe to express that testy , and it is really amazing to eat, and it is a very effective way to change the testy of pitha.
• How did the new version affect the flavor and feel of the meal?
This is an ancient traditional testy that many people do not use along with religion, and some of these ingredients have been separated from food for easy and quick cooking. Currently, we prefer to prepare food from various instant cooking recipes, so we have introduced the tradition of reducing the ingredients of the food to make cooking easier and less expensive. However, if we follow the recipes of previous or ancient times, we will see that by adding different types of ingredients, the food is made much more delicious and much more interesting, which is why today I tried to give my food a bit of a rustic and traditional taste by using coconut flakes, but of course other foods or other religions have done the same. My food has improved considerably and has taken on a different flavor, but of course, my milk pie has become a royal flavor due to the use of ingredients from the previous meal.
• Why do you think people should try this healthier version?
Currently, such recipes are very time-consuming, and people have gradually lost interest in making these foods at home, so we are more used to buying these foods from outside, but the taste of home-made food will never match the taste of food prepared outside. We have to choose foods made with few ingredients, so if we make these foods at home, we can use enough ingredients.Therefore, people consider home-cooked food to be much tastier than food prepared outside. Food is prepared in a healthy manner at someone's home, and since families are large enough here, home-cooked food is much tastier than food prepared outside, so people will accept it easily, and if such ingredients are used to enhance the taste of food, people are bound to accept it with pleasure.

Wow, you have created a very interesting recipe. I think it is quite delicious. The pictures are very beautiful.
Yes brother, your idea is right. It is very fun to eat. Especially in winter days, it is very fun to eat such foods.
I couldn't help but imagine how your traditional winter pitha tastes, I believe that with all the ingredients you've chosen, it must have been good! I love how you added coconut flakes to bring back the rich old style flavor, hmm what lovely touch! Your final dish looks soft, creamy, and delicious. Well done and success!
Thank you dear maam for the nice comment
