Ghila Gur Pitha 10pcs

Ghila Pitha holds a special place in Assamese food culture. This traditional sticky rice-based snack is known for its crisp outer layer and soft, mildly sweet interior. Made primarily from rice flour and jaggery, Ghila Pitha represents the ingenuity of Assamese kitchens, where simple ingredients are transformed into deeply satisfying food.

Traditionally prepared during Magh Bihu, Ghila Pitha is shaped by hand into oval or round forms and fried slowly to achieve its characteristic texture. The name “Ghila” refers to its rounded shape, symbolising completeness and prosperity.Prepared in small batches using household techniques passed down through generations. There are no artificial flavours or preservatives—only carefully selected ingredients and time-tested preparation.
