Crafted with Tradition and Care
We carefully prepare Til Pitha, following recipes passed down through generations. The outer layer is made from Bora Saul, a special type of glutinous rice native to Assam. First, we soak the rice and then grind it into a smooth dough. Next, we shape the dough into delicate rolls. This rice dough forms a soft, yet firm texture, which perfectly complements the sweet sesame filling.
The filling itself blends organic black sesame seeds and natural jaggery. First, we roast the sesame seeds to bring out their nutty flavor. Then, we combine them with jaggery, which adds a rich, earthy sweetness. Together, these ingredients create the perfect harmony of sweet and savory flavors, staying true to Assamese culinary traditions.
A Perfect Pairing for Any Occasion
Til Pitha pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of Assam tea. Together, they create a satisfying and comforting experience. Whether you enjoy it for breakfast, as a snack, or during special occasions, Til Pitha elevates every moment.
