Thekua is very famous recipe of Bihar (India). This recipe is associated with Chath Puja, but generally people prepare this recipe when they are travelling, or they keep it as evening snacks. During festival it is prepared in several ways, like with jaggery, dryfruits, or with sugar and concoction of dryfruits. Here I’m using jaggery, wheat flour, desiccated coconut to prepare this famous thekua recipe.
