How to make Til Pitha?

Crispy rice wrapper

The Til Pitha recipe is divided into two parts – rice wrapper and sesame jaggery filling. The filling recipe is quite easy to prepare. Of course, the trickiest part is preparing the rice wrapper in which the filling is rolled. To make crispy pithas, the rice used has to be glutinous and sticky. The traditional recipe asks for Bora Saul rice, which is pounded into a dry powder with a mortar and pestle (called Ural or Dheki in Assamese). Although, I couldn’t find a large enough mortar and pestle so I stuck by my electric grinder. To make the rice wrapper, soak the glutinous rice for 6-7 hours and drain the excess water. Do not dry all the water off (definitely don’t leave the rice to dry in the sun). Grind the rice into a fine powder and set it aside.
