I am happy to participate in the 2nd week of Steemit Challenge season 30. Thank you @jyoti-thelight mam for giving this opportunity to us.

There are many delicious steamed dishes in different regions of Bangladesh. They are generally healthy, as they do not use oil and retain the natural flavor of the food. Below is a list of some popular steamed dishes in our region.

2. Chitoi Pitha - A soft pitha made with rice powder, usually eaten with stuffing or jaggery.
3. Dudh Chitoi - Chitoi pitha soaked in milk and jaggery syrup and served.
4. Bhapa Sandesh - A steamed sweet made with chickpeas and sugar.
5. Mera Pitha – Winter pitha made with rice flour, usually eaten with filling.

My Favorite Steamed Dish

My Favorite Steamed Dish- Bhapa pitha

My favorite dish is Bhapa Pitha. This is my favorite because

• It is a traditional winter pitha that is available all over Bangladesh and is a popular steamed dish.
• Its taste is very sweet and fragrant with a mixture of rice powder, coconut and jaggery.
• It is a healthy and light food as it is cooked in steam.
• The pleasure of eating hot steamed pitha on a winter morning is different and it reminds me of my childhood.

Make the Raagi Puttu(Steamed Finger Millet Cake) that is shared in the course or make it as per your style, with a detailed step-by-step procedure along with images

In our Bangladesh, steamed food is very common and healthy. I tried to make a dish inspired by Raagi Puttu, but I made it in my own style by using rice flour instead of raagi flour and almonds and cashew nuts instead of coconut focusing on the ingredients availability in our region. This gives the dish a slightly different taste while maintaining the texture of the traditional steamed food.

Used Ingredients

Making Process

Step- I

I took 1 cups of Rice flour becausr raagi flour isn’t available in my city. Then I put rice flour in a pan and roast it on low flame until the aroma comeout.

Step-II

Then I put the roasted ricr flour in a bowl, add a pinch amount of salt. After that I water little by little and knead it well with my palms. I was concern while mixing, because the flour should not be so softy or too hard. it should form a ball when pressed by hand.

Step-III

In this step, I put a pan and Pour water into the pot and boil the water.

Step-IV

I took a plate that had some holes in it and spread a clean cotton cloth over it. Then I spread the mixture I had made on the cotton cloth well. Finally I put the plate over boiling water and it didn't work at all like boiling water.

Step-V

Then I took it out after steaming for 15 minutes and transferred it to a separate bowl.

Step-VI

In this step, I took two cardamoms for flavor and ground them well with the help of a blender and mixed them here.

Step-VII

Now I have finely chopped the almonds that I soaked for several hours and also chopped the cashews which I have mixed well in the mixer. I soaked the almonds last night so that they become soft and have a coconut-like flavor. It was soaked for about 8 hours.

Step-VIII

In the last step here I have mixed the required amount of sugar and transferred it to a separate container with a nice shape and it is now ready to eat.
