Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Generously grease an 8-inch round baking pan with ghee. If using, line the bottom of the pan with bay leaves or banana leaves for a traditional aroma.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, fresh grated coconut, grated jaggery, cardamom powder, black pepper powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined. Add 3 tablespoons of melted ghee, the chopped cashews, and raisins. Stir everything together.
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring continuously to form a thick, lump-free batter. The consistency should be like a thick cake batter that drops from a spoon, not runny.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 50-60 minutes. The pitha is done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown and slightly cracked.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the pitha cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Then, carefully run a knife around the edges and invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
