- 1-2 pcs Cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl take four cups of rice flour.

- Add cardamom and cinnamon to it. Mix again.
- The batter is ready.
- Take a pan with a lid and grease with oil.
- Pour the batter into it and tap lightly to ensure no air pockets remain in the mixture. Cover the lid to seal it properly.
- Now, take a large kadai with sand in it. Place the pan above the sand/salt inside the kadai and close the lid. The sand/salt should submerge the stand and touch the base of the pan.
- Over medium flame, cook for approximately one hour. Do keep checking in between.
- After one hour, open the lid and insert a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the pitha is done; if not, you need to cook some more time.
- Once done, open the lid. Loosen the edges with the help of a knife and put it on a serving tray/dish.
- Let it come down to room temperature.
- Your Bibikhana Pitha is ready now. Cut into pieces and serve.
