Thekua – A Traditional Bihari Delight Thekua is a beloved traditional sweet snack from Bihar, Jharkhand, and parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Made from a simple yet flavorful mix of whole wheat flour, jaggery (or sugar), ghee, and cardamom, Thekua is deep-fried to a golden crisp. It is often prepared during festivals like Chhath Puja and holds cultural and emotional significance in Bihari households.
Crunchy on the outside and slightly soft inside, Thekua is not just a snack but a symbol of tradition, love, and home-style cooking. It has a rich aroma and a long shelf life, making it perfect for gifting or carrying while traveling.
Whether enjoyed with tea or as a standalone treat, Thekua brings the authentic taste of rural India to every bite.
