Chitau Pitha: A Virtual Trip Through Odia Delicacy

It’s ‘Chitau Amavasya’ today and what better way to observe the auspicious occasion than gorging on ‘Chitau pitha’ — the steamed pancake of Odisha — along with other delicacies like Macha Ghaantaa, Dalama and milk-grated coconut-sugar. 

Odia culture and pitha have this unending relationship of togetherness. Be it any festival or not, various kinds of pithas are associated with regular food of Odisha people.

Well, this coconut pancake ‘Chitau Pitha’ not only pleases the taste buds, but its celebration on the new moon day or ‘Chitau Amabasya’ speaks about its traditional significance to keep harmful insects and negative energies away from home.
