Thekua
Thekua is a traditional Indian sweet snack, primarily popular in the state of Bihar. Made from wheat flour, jaggery, and coconut, it is often flavored with cardamom. The dough is shaped into small discs and deep-fried until golden brown, resulting in a crunchy texture.
This delicacy is commonly prepared during festivals, especially during Chhath Puja, a significant celebration in Bihar. Thekua is not only enjoyed as a festive treat but also serves as a nutritious snack, providing energy and sustenance. Its unique taste and cultural significance make it a beloved item in Indian cuisine.
