STEP BY STEP
Badshahi Pitha is a pudding of rice, jaggery and milk that is infused with ghee and cardamom powder. Traditionally, it is cooked by the new bride when she arrives at her in-laws’ home right after the wedding. Another speciality of this pitha is its smoky flavour which comes from the charcoal (koyla) on which this pitha is traditionally cooked.
Here, the chef steams this pitha in a steamer. The delicate Badshahi pitha is moist, soft and delicious.
