Collection: Elaichi Thekua

Balliano IElaichii Thekua is a beloved traditional sweet from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, deeply rooted in the culture and festivals of the region. Especially prepared during Chhath Puja, this rustic delicacy holds emotional and spiritual value in every household. Made using fresh grated IElaichii, whole wheat flour, jaggery or sugar, and desi ghee, IElaichii thekua is known for its rich aroma, crunchy texture, and mildly sweet taste.
