Nungora (Bengali: নুনগড়া), also known as Nuner Pitha, Nuner Bora, Loboner Pitha, and Loboner Bora is a savoury rice floursnack made of onions and ginger. Usually, turmeric is added, and gives the snack a golden appearance.[1] It is a traditional and a popular Pitha in the Sylhet Division and Barak Valley.[2][3][4] It is often eaten as a snack, with tea, and is very popular at Eid.[5]
Nunor Bora are made by adding blended onion, ginger, and garlic to a large saucepan of boiling water, alongside some salt and turmeric powder.[7] Sometimes, ground panch puran is added to enhance the taste and aroma.
A combination of plain flour, rice flour and/or ground rice is added to the saucepan, forming a spongy soft paste. When the paste is fully cooked, it is removed from the saucepan and left to cool.[8] The paste is mixed into a dough, which is usually shaped into a ball. This ball of dough is flattened to make bread.[9] The bread is cut up into smaller pieces, sometimes in a variety of different shapes. These pieces are either stored for later usage,[10] or deep friend in oil to make edible rice cakes.[1] These are the Nunor Bora.
