Nunor Bora (Bengali: নুনর বড়া), also known as Nungora, Nunor Fita, Nuner Bora, Lobonor Fita, and Lobonor Bora is a savoury rice flour snack made of onion, ginger and turmeric that gives the snack its golden appearance.[1] It is also known as Nuniya Pitha in Bangladesh. It is a traditional and a popular Pitha in Sylhet.[2][3][4] It is eaten with tea as a snack and is very popular at Eid[5]

Ingredients[]

Onions, ginger, salt, turmeric, panch puran (optional), rice flour, ground rice, chopped coriander (optional) and water.[6]

Method[]

Nungora and Handesh

First, it is started by boiling water in a large saucepan. Then blended ingredients (onion, ginger, garlic) are added to the boiling water with some salt and turmeric powder.[7] Last ingredient is ground panch puran which adds a mouthwatering taste and aroma. But this ingredient is optional. A combination of plain flour, rice flour and/or ground rice is added to make a spongy soft paste by cooking. When the paste is fully cooked, they are taken out of the pan and allowed to cool.[8] To form a ball of dough it is mixed. Then taking a ball of dough, it is rolled to make bread.[9] Cutting the bread into pieces, the Nunor Bora is shaped. Frying them in deep fried oil, this rice cake is made.[1] Nunor Bora can be stored for a later usage without frying.[10]
