Coconut Thekua

Balliano Coconut 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 coconut, whole wheat flour, jaggery or sugar, and desi ghee, coconut thekua is known for its rich aroma, crunchy texture, and mildly sweet taste.

What makes coconut thekua special is its authentic homemade style, where simple ingredients come together to create a long-lasting, preservative-free sweet. The addition of coconut enhances the flavor with a natural sweetness and nutty richness, making every bite comforting and satisfying. Traditionally, the dough is hand-shaped using wooden molds with leaf patterns and then deep-fried slowly in ghee or oil until golden brown.

Coconut thekua is not just a snack; it is a symbol of tradition, devotion, and togetherness in UP-Bihar families. It is often served with tea, shared with guests, and packed as prasad during festivals. Loved by all age groups, this crunchy sweet carries the warmth of village kitchens and the taste of generations. Whether enjoyed at home or gifted during festivities, coconut thekua remains a timeless favorite of Eastern India.
