Til Pitha

About Til Pitha

Til Pitha is a beloved Assamese delicacy made especially during festivals like Bihu. This traditional rice cake combines the subtle flavors of roasted black sesame seeds (til) and jaggery, wrapped inside a soft yet slightly crisp outer layer of ground rice. Carefully rolled on a hot flat pan without oil, Til Pitha is a perfect blend of nutrition and indulgence. The sesame seeds are dry roasted and mixed with molten jaggery, which is then filled into thin rice crepes prepared from soaked and ground sticky rice (Bora Saul). The result is a naturally sweet, aromatic, and wholesome treat with no added preservatives. Rich in iron, calcium, and antioxidants, it not only satisfies your taste buds but also contributes to your well-being. Ideal as a festive snack, tea-time accompaniment, or a gift, Til Pitha brings the authentic flavors of Assam right to your plate with every bite.
