Thekua is sweet savoury fried snack of Bihar, Jharkhand,West Bengal. It's made from wheat flour, dessicated coconut, jaggery- milk syrup, cardamom and snauf,ghee.
It's a revered prasada (offered to God), during chhath puja.
Usually it's made by deep frying.
I innovated by baking in Airfryer.
Inspired by Author Kanwaljeet Chhabra Ji Recipe.
