About Bhapa pitha

Bhapa Pitha is a traditional steamed rice cake from Bangladesh, often enjoyed during winter. Made with a simple mix of rice flour, grated coconut, jaggery (date palm molasses), and water, this dish is a symbol of warmth and community. The steaming process gives Bhapa Pitha its delicate texture while retaining the natural flavors of its ingredients. Rich in fiber from the coconut and minerals from the jaggery, it can be a nourishing treat. However, it is relatively high in carbohydrates due to the rice flour and jaggery content, so portion control is key. Typically served as a breakfast item or snack, Bhapa Pitha is a gluten-free option that celebrates wholesome, unprocessed ingredients while offering a taste of Bengali culinary tradition.
