Chunga Pitha is a traditional delicacy of Sylhet as well as Assam. Chunga means tube or hole and pitha means cake
It consists of sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves which are cooked in a special type of bamboo which is specific to this region only during the winter season. The rice is cooked in the bamboo and is infused with the aroma of the bamboo.
Firstly Mix the sticky rice powder, coconut and the sugar with a spoon. Put the rice powder mixture into the tube. Press the mixture inside the tube. Keep an empty space on the tube so that the mixture can expand. Tightly close the banana leaf. Can also use a silver foil. Cook upon slow open fire. First cook the mouth of the tube. Rotate from time to time so that it cooks evenly. When done remove and let the tube cool slightly. Split the tube and serve with cream and jaggery.
The more the slice are thinner the tastier the taste of the chunga pitha.
Makanan ini terlihat sangat menarik akan tetapi pengolahannya sedikit merepotkan karena menggunakan alat tak lazim . Aku ingin mencobanya suatu hari nanti
Ya alat makanan ini sangat jarang Anda dapat menemukannya di daerah desa dengan pohon bambu pemula. atau datang ke negara kami saya akan mengelolanya. Terima kasih atas komentar Anda yang bagus. Saya pikir bahasa Inggris akan lebih baik untuk percakapan. @Nyainurjanah
@SabbirShawon We have almost the same food in Thailand. I want to try your version. I’m a big fan of sticky rice. Chunga Pitha looks delicious. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
@SabbirShawon Thank you for your reply. It is here. It’s called Khao Lam. I also saw it when I visited a floating market lately. I wrote about snacks you must try there.
