Thekua / Bihari Khasta Thekua / Gur Thekua / ঠেকুয়া / Khajur

by Moumita Malla November 20, 2020
written by Moumita Malla November 20, 2020
Thekua / Bihari Khasta Thekua / Gur Thekua / ঠেকুয়া / Khajur

Thekua is a traditional deep-fried sweet snack made from whole wheat flour (atta). This traditional Bihari thekua recipe is offered as prasad during the Bihari festival of Chhath Puja. Chhat Puja is dedicated to Surya and his wife Usha (Chhati Mai) , where they are thanked for maintaining the flow of life on earth. No idols are worshiped in this Puja. The festival is also celebrated in Jharkhand, eastern Uttar Pradesh and the Terai region of Nepal. Thekua is also called kajuria, khajoor or khajur in Bihar and Jharkhand.

Traditionally, Thekua is made with gud or jaggery, but if you want you can make it with sugar also.

Dough should be stiff and quite hard to make crumbly thekua. Soft dough will result in soft, non-crumbly thekua. Thekua is traditionally made using wooden mould called saancha, If you do not have saancha, you can use backside of glass, cup, toothpick, skewers or fork to make the desired design or pattern. Even you can use your bare hands to create a design or you can just keep it plain.

Here I have used only kismis / raisin, you can use any dryfruits to make it more crunchier and tasty.
