Thekua is more than a traditional sweet snack. It represents a part of Bihar's food culture and the memories of generations who have prepared and enjoyed it.
Although the exact origin and date of its creation are not clearly documented, Thekua has a long-standing association with traditional household cooking in Bihar.
In many Bihari families, Thekua is prepared using simple ingredients such as wheat flour, jaggery, sugar and ghee. The recipe may vary from family to family. Some add coconut or fennel seeds, while others prefer a simpler preparation.
Thekua is particularly known for its association with Chhath Puja. It is prepared as an offering and is an important part of the festival's food traditions.
Traditional recipes are often shared within families. Parents and grandparents teach younger generations how to prepare the dough, shape the Thekua and fry it correctly.
Thekua is now available in different varieties and packaged forms, allowing people to enjoy this traditional snack throughout the year. Its journey from family kitchens to modern food brands reflects continued interest in regional Indian food traditions.
