Two types of stuffing can be done viz. Khoya and Coconut. We opted for coconut; you can choose either as per your preference:

Stuffing Type 1: With Khoya

While making Patishapta, it’s always better to prepare your stuffing first. So, take a pan pour 200gms Khoya, 50gms Sugar and 100gms Milk, at medium flame stir the mixture until it gets dried up.  

Stuffing Type 2: With Coconut

Step 1: Pour the whole amount of grated coconut as much as you need.
