The main ingredient of bhapa pitha is rice flour. It is important to soak it properly. If it is dried too much, the pitha will break, if it is dried too little, the pitha will become hard. Then, date molasses is usually used.It is usually heated in a large pot with water. The pitha is made by steaming hot water, hence the name Bhapa Pitha. Winter is incomplete without Bhapa Pitha.Bhapa Pitha carries a unique beauty and plays a significant role in preserving Bengali heritage.

Your steamed pithas look so delicious, you showed me pithas and now I want to eat them, invite me to your house for pithas one day. Best wishes to you.

Thank you so much! Haha, if the pithas made you hungry, then you’re invited to my place for a pitha treat one day! Your words truly mean a lot. Best wishes to you too!

Enjoy the winter pitha.

Bhapa pitha embodies the tradition of our Bangladesh. However, one should eat it with caution, as there is a risk of burning the mouth.

Absolutely! Bhapa pitha truly reflects the warmth and tradition of Bangladesh. And yes, it’s so tempting that we often forget how hot it can be—better to enjoy it slowly and safely

As winter approaches, there is a rush to eat various types of pitha in our country.

As winter arrives, everyone gets excited for all the different kinds of pitha in our country. The cold weather almost feels incomplete without enjoying these traditional treats.

The festival of Bhapa Pitha begins in winter. At this time, Bengali tradition seems incomplete without Bhapa Pitha.
