Here are five Bihari sweets that you might want to try during Chhath Puja:
A deep-fried sweet made with wheat flour, jaggery, and ghee. It's often flavoured with cardamom and sometimes garnished with coconut or sesame seeds.
This sweet is made with bael (wood apple) pulp, maida (all-purpose flour), and sugar. It's shaped into small balls and fried until golden brown.
With their natural sweetness and binding properties, mashed bananas work well in recipes like muffins and quick breads.
A crispy and layered sweet made with refined wheat flour, sugar, and ghee. It's often enjoyed as a snack during festivals.
Pedakiya is a deep-fried dumpling filled with a mixture of khoya (reduced milk), coconut, and dry fruits. It's then dipped in sugar syrup for sweetness and tastes crunchy because of the filling.
