Besides, tasty Jolpan(heavy snack) prepared of Chira(rice flake), Muri(puffed rice) and many other ingredients are worth mentioning here.

While Jolpan can also be served as the main food, Pitha, Laru(balls made commonly either of coconut or of sesame seed) can be served as snacks with tea or as side dish along with Jolpan or as a dessert after food.
