Thekua
Thekua is a flavorful, crispy Nepalese dessert consisting of whole wheat flour, jaggery, and grated coconut. The dough is traditionally deep-fried in ghee until it develops a reddish-brown color. This unique treat is especially popular during the Chhath Puja festival, when it is prepared as an offering to God. Apart from Nepal, thekua is very popular in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and some claim that the true origin of thekua is actually in Bihar.
