Bipinnagar,Jalpaguidi,Bengal Visit And Pitha


I just love some journey during festivals among them to visit Bipinnagar with familiy,we meet Rinky Banargi there and visited around tea gardens of Islampur area ,these tea gardens were ownded by Harishpur Tea Estate and we had visited in comapny vehicle .We came there in  three days from Harishpur ,Namrup,Dibrugarh,Assam and reached to the area of Bipin Nagar in evening.There we had lots of Bengali food among which I liked pitha best.Pathishapta Pitha is a very popular Bengali sweet pancake recipe where the pancake is stuffed with Khoya Kheer. Patishapta pitha is prepared on the occasion of Makar sankranti or Poush Parbon. Patishapta is one of the most delicious pitha recipes of Bengalis.
