Makes 25 - 30 Guror Handesh (Teler Pitha) [ তেলের পিঠা ] (depending on size)
How to make Guror Handesh - Teler Pitha
You will need: for Guror Handesh - Teler Pitha
2 level cups of rice flour (approx. 320g)
1 level cup of plain flour (approx. 145g)
1 level cup of morsa gur/date molasses (approx. 320g)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar (approx. 50g)
tepid water as needed (as a rough guide I used 250ml, which is equivalent to 1/2 a pint but this will depend if your morsa gur is hard or soft to begin with, my gur was soft and runny so adjust this amount as necessary)
Guror Handesh (Teler Pitha) are traditional sweet Bengali deep fried snacks, made from a batter of flour and date molasses (gur) or sugar. There are many variations of this recipe and how you make yours will depend on what kind of taste and texture you prefer; many people use just rice flour to make the batter for this recipe, whilst others will add plain/self raising flour, semolina or even ground rice. You can also opt to add fresh or desiccated coconut and even fennel seeds to this to add more taste and texture.
These are some of the most common problems you may experience and my solutions for these problems.
Handesh [ তেলের পিঠা ] don't puff up - The oil is not hot enough. Solve this by raising the temperature of the oil and making sure it reaches smoking point and then cools a little before adding the batter for the first handesh. They should then be fried over a medium low flame.
Handesh split when put into the oil - This is usually the result of too much sugar in the batter and the batter being too thin OR the oil is too hot. Remedy this by adding more flour and thickening the batter OR lowering the temperature of the oil.
Handesh aren't cooked in the middle - This is caused by frying the handesh at a very high temperature OR making the handesh too big. Solve this by lowering the temperature slightly and cooking over a medium flame OR add smaller amounts of batter to the oil.
Handesh don't have frilly edges - this is usually a result of not letting the batter rest for long enough. The best handesh batter has had time to rest and allows the flours (especially the rice flour) to absorb the moisture from the liquid added. Solve this by making your batter in advance and allowing it to rest properly for at least 4 - 5 hours, or overnight if you prefer. I sometimes find resting overnight causes the batter to become too loose and I then have to add more flour to thicken the batter, so I like to make the batter a few hours in advance and fry later on in the same day.
So now that those problems have been discussed, I also want to share a few pointers that I think are quite obvious but may be things that some of us may overlook.
Make sure your ingredients are all at room temperature. This means that the date molasses should not be used straight from the fridge (where some people store their unused gur), leave it to come to room temperature before using.
The water added to the batter should be tepid, not chilled or cold.
The oil used for frying should be clean. It's fine to use oil that has been used for frying before but remove any bits of fried food from it (the oil you see in the video was previously used, I just added extra oil to it after sieving out all the crumbs).
I have used actual measuring cups to measure the ingredients, these are available from good household stores. Please don't use a random cup and expect to get the same results.
If you don't have cups for measuring, I have also provided measurements in grams for added accuracy.
If you've made it this far down and are still reading this, you deserve a round of applause, well done! The main thing to remember is that there is no magic ingredient that will give you a perfect handesh, it's having a reliable recipe and most importantly the METHOD used to make the handesh (Teler Pitha)that will give you perfect results.
Now that I've covered almost everything I can think of, I'm hoping that you're excited and equipped with the confidence and knowledge to make the perfect Guror Handesh (Teler Pitha). Let's do it!

I dunno why everyone's so secretive about these desi snacks. No one I know wants to tell me how to make these. Had to resort to KZread for the recipe and method. This channel explained point by point how to go about it and what to do. So thank you and you'll have barakah for sharing it with us.

I just LOVE the fact that you're making our traditional Sylheti recipes 😘 and MashAllah sister you're sooo talented eveything looks delicious and you always keep the cooking area clean without being messy❤️😍
Finally someone explained this properly. Thank u sis xxx defo going to try this x
Some really good pointers there, didnt know you had to rest it for a few hours. Thought you could instantly cook it
This is the best handesh recipe tutorial I've seen. Thank you for taking the time to write all the tips and everything in the description. It's really helpful. I'll give this a try for Eid insha Allah. Please do more Sylheti recipes like nunbora and soi phita. Jazakallah sis, may Allah reward you. ❤
great traditional sylheti recipe. my mum couldn't explain to me properly how to make it, i had no idea you had to leave the batter sitting for a few hours, no wonder my handesh always flopped. I always just made batter on eid morning and always fried straight after and couldnt understand why all the inside would come out in a really ugly way :( . Thank you so much! i can finally make handesh perfectly!!

It's not just Sylheti recipe rather it's a national snack known in different names almost every districts of Bangladesh.
Made it yesterday! Best handesh ever mash’allah
Love the way u celebrate and endorse using your hands.. You are absolutely correct regards to bacteria helps create a better batter
I put in 1 tsp of powdered fennel seeds gives the smell n taste of handwash we eat in Bangladesh. I love all your recipes on Instagram gives an old mum like me ideas on what to cook for the family.
I recently moved out of my in laws and doing our first Eid in our new home this year, my father in law absolutely LOVES handesh and really wanted to make some for him this year. This worked sooo well, I know handesh can be so tricky to get right but they puffed so nicely. JazakAllah for your efforts and the time you spend to make these videos! ❤
Thank you for this. For years no one would tell me how you make these. Including my own mother!! Great tips amd clear instructions!
can't wait to try it! thanks for the video and helpful tips.
I have never seen someone explain this so lucid and science, engineering of this Teler pitha. Its been a mysterious pitha even my mom can every thing except this thing.
I've made them and they turned out very well JazakALLAH khair for the recipe sis
Every year I look back to this video when I need to make handesh for Eid!
جزاك الله خيرا For the recipe
Looks like you've made an effort to make this video perfect. You explained everything very nicely. Thank you.
One of the things I missed eating when my Mum passed away. Never had the confidence to make them and no one wanted to give their recipe!!! I’ve made the batter and will InshaAllah make them in a few hours time. I pray they taste as good as Mums!!!
I am so happy to see you on KZread Afelia! 😍 I thought you have some baking mold to get this shape but wow so surprising! They look gorgeous! I would love to see one from the inside😋

Salaam sis is that fine rice flour or normal rice flour ?
Very very nice 👍👍👌💓😍🥰😘💓
Healthy version: make it as if it's a pancake in a non stick pan, lightly buttered. If you prefer a rise, add baking powder to the batter.

Hi afelia, I wanted to know what the handesh looked like inside. Did it have a pocket or gap between the two sides inside? I like my handesh to not have a gap, more like a sponge through out.

can i use roasted rice flour and red roasted rice floor?
Worked amazingly, but not sweet enough for me. How do I make it sweeter without it affecting how well it frys. If i add more morsa gurr/date molasses will that do, or affect frying.
Pleeeease make the a recipe video for the pizza if possible,. Pictures of it on instagram looks scrumptious indeed! Thanks

Why not use spoon or whisk. It comes out good if mixture left in fridge overnight. Why add sugar goor is enough. Hands must be throughly washed. No jewellery.
