Traditionally served as prasad during Chhath Puja, this crispy delicacy from Bihar is known for its history. With the comforting warmth of ghee and jaggery and the gentle crunch of each mouthful, it is rustic, flavourful and nostalgic. Not only is thekua really traditional, but it also makes a great healthy snack for tea time and can be stored for days.
