Rice Dumplings or Pithas rules in the eastern states of India. The process is mostly steaming. Food prepared in steaming process with zero oil is considerably better in taste. You will be amazed to find the varieties of Pithas, an odiya family relish on a festive day. They are like Podo Pitha, Kakara Pitha, Monda Pitha and Chakuli Pitha.
The festival of Bihu in Assam is more on celebrating the art of making Pithas. Til Pitha, Mohura Pitha, sunga pitha, takeli pitha where rice is being the main ingredient.
Believe me the process is quite easy. Once you get that right technique to make perfect rice dough for pitha, your job will be much easier. You can try using different variety of rice-flour but the amount of water used in the recipe vary accordingly.
Today I am sharing a recipe from My Mom’s kitchen ‘Monda -Pitha’ which is known as Mohura Pitha is Assam. Monda Pitha can be made with sweet filling or savoury filling (spicy potato). The same pitha is known as Mohura Pitha in Assam which is must on Assamese festival Bihu.
Serve Sweet Rice Dumplings as a side dish along with Vegetarian Thukpa for a light weekday meal.
