    Bhakka- Eastern Tharu Delicacy

    August 12, 2017 Leave a CommentWritten by Prashanta

    Bhakka, simple fluffy rice flour steamed cake, is a traditional delicacy of Tharu community living in
    eastern plains of Nepal especially of Rajbansi community. It is typically eaten as breakfast or as a snack
    with freshly prepared tomato pickle. Although it looks very simple, the process of making it amazingly
    soft and fluffy is very creative. The one prepared with freshly harvested rice flour has some sweetness. If
    you happen to visit Biratnagar or other cities and towns in eastern plains, you are likely to see women
    steaming and selling bhakka early morning in the chowks. It has become popular street breakfast!
    The rice flour prepared from milling soaked rice is first sprinkled with some water to make lightly moist
    and then massaged with palms to form moist sand like texture. It is then sieved through the sieve, which
    helps in forming small round sand-size grits. It is then lightly compacted in a small bowl and then
    steamed. Traditionally clay pot with the narrow opening is used for steaming. The opening is covered by
    muslin cloth where the rice cake is placed and steamed with lid-on.
