Chitoi Pitha is a popular traditional rice cake from Bangladesh, especially enjoyed during winter. It is made from a simple batter of rice flour, water, and a pinch of salt, which is then poured into a small, shallow clay or metal pan and cooked over low heat. The result is a soft, spongy, and slightly chewy texture.
Chitoi Pitha is often served with molasses (gur), grated coconut, or even spicy mashed mustard sauce (shutki bharta or mustard paste bharta) for a savory twist.
