For the fourth day of month long Biryani and Pulao festival, I have a delicious biryani from Bihar. I listed out the recipes to try nearly 6 months back and I have been making one recipe at a time. Some recipes were so simple that I was just postponing the preparation. For Bihar, I finalised […]
Today I am taking you to the state of Bihar. It shares its boundaries with Uttar Pradesh, Nepal, West Bengal and Jharkand. Bihari food is mostly vegetarian so it was easy for me to find authentic dishes from Bihar which suited our meals. Some of the famous dishes from Bihar are Sattu, Bihari Kadhi, dhal, […]
Littli Choka is a famous snack from Bihar. Served along with dhal, it can also be served as breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Tilkut is actually till gud which translates into sesame seeds and jaggery. It is very easy to prepare. After shaping the ladoos let it air dry for 4-5hours before storing in airtight jar. This stays […]
