Pua Pitha (in Bengali: পোয়া পিঠা) is a one kind of popular Snacks food in Bangladesh. It is also known as Teler Pitha (in Bengali: তেলের পিঠা) in different part of our country but in my city Mymensingh we mostly called it Pua Pitha (পোয়া পিঠা). We may have this snacks food whole the years but especially during the winter we have this snacks food a lot. In our country winter is a season for enjoying different types of traditional snacks foods.
Although this is a homemade food but now a days we can buy this pitha from confectionaries or Pitha Shops. There are many Pitha shops available everywhere in the city places. We can also buy from street shops in the village markets in the village areas.
The Ingredients: the main ingredients are Rice Flour, Brown Sugar (in Bengali: Ghur/ গুড়) is preferable, White Sugar also used, Salt, Water and Cooking Oil, Coconut (sometimes it used but not mandatory), Date Juice (sometimes we used Date Juice instead of the Sugar for a nice flavour).
The Process: a) add some fresh normal water in a bowl and add some sugar and a small amount of Date Juice (for nice flavour) mix them using a spoon perfectly.
b) Then add Rice Flour and a bit Salt (as need) and mix using a spoon perfectly, so that no bubbles in it.
c) In the mean time add some cooking oil on the pan and heated firmly, when the oil start boiling then drop a small amount of mixture rice flour using a spoon.
d) It may take couple of minutes to bake the Pitha/ Snacks food and remove the Pitha from the hot oil when it become a bit brown colour and baked perfectly.
আমাদের টাংগাইলে এটাকে তেলের পিঠা বলে। আমার আম্মা মাঝে মাঝেই বানায়। তবে শীতকালে বেশি। একবার আমি চেষ্টা করে ফেল করেছি । সুন্দর ছবি দিয়েছেন ভাই। অনেক ভালো লাগল @AbdullahAM ভাই। ভালো থাকবেন।
I’m glad that you liked our traditional snacks food Pua Pitha @BorrisS
There no special occasion for that, we usually have this pitha all the years but during the winter season we have this pitha a lot. In our country winter season is a special season when we bake different types of our traditional foods. So you can say the winter season is a season for different types of traditional pitha/ snacks foods.
Most of the Bengali people like this pitha or different types of pithas. India is our neighbour and a lots of Bengali people also living in Indian and our surrounding states of India like West Bengal, Assam and Tripura, so they may like this pitha too.
আপনাকে অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ বাংলাদেশের একটি জনপ্রিয় পিঠা এখানে শেয়ার করার জন্য। অঞ্চল ভেদে বিভিন্ন স্থানে নাম বিভিন্ন হলেও এটা আমাদের এখানেও তৈরি হয় আর আমাদের এখানে এই পিঠাকে মালপুয়া নামে পরিচিত।
