Pitha is a traditional rice cake delicacy that originated in Bangladesh and is now popular in many other countries. It is typically made with rice flour, sugar, and coconut, and has a soft and spongy texture. Though the word "pitha" is widely used, there are different regional names for the same dish. In Nepal, it is called "yomari," while in Assam, it is known as "bihu pitha." In West Bengal, it is called "puli," and in Odisha, it is known as "cheda pitha." These synonyms reflect the diverse regional cultures and take on different variations in ingredients and preparation.
