Pati Shapta is one of the most popular classics desserts in Bengali and it’s really good in taste. Every bight of Pati Shapta is so delicious. I learned this recipe from my mother. During the months of Poush, Magh, and Falgun (December to February), it was usually made especially for the winter festival called Makar Sankranti or Poush Sankranti.
