Hello Ladies, how are you all? I hope you are well. Myself Sonia Akter Tama. I am a school teacher. My educational institution is called Shining Future Collegiate School. Today I will tell you about the grand pitha festival in our school.
In 2023, a grand pitha festival was organized on Sunday, January 29, 2023. In this pitha festival teachers will make pitha. The headmaster of our school said that every teacher should bring at least 3 types of pitha. Your pies will be sold here. He also said that parents can also sell pies in this festival.
Those who can make pitha will make pitha and sell it. And those who can't make pitha will bring money in bags and buy pitha and eat it. Total number of teachers in our school is 12. The headmaster also said that by 9:00 am everyone will come to school with everyone's cake.
I have bought a white saree to wear saree in pitha festival. All teachers will wear saree in pitha festival. I start making pita on Friday night for the pita festival. My mother and my aunt help me make pitha. I will make steamed pitha, flower basket pitha, jamai pitha for pitha festival.
My mother helped me to make steamed pitha. Rice flour, coconut, ghee are required to make steamed pitha. Mother was harvesting coconut. I mix a little salt and water in the rice flour and knead the dough.
Now mother started making pitha. After that our steamed pitha is ready. After that I will make flower basket pitha. To make flower basket pitha I need flour, flour, gram flour, egg, sugar.
These ingredients should be mixed well. And oil should be placed in the pan on the stove. Keep the pita mold inside the oil. When the mold gets hot, take out the mold and add the amount of mixed flour and put it again in the oil. Usually this is how to make flower basket pitha. This is how I ended up making 3 types of pitha.
Wake up in the morning. I took out the white saree to go to pitha festival. Mother taught me the Bengali saree. I wear a saree and dress up. The pithas I made are not arranged in a tray, after that I went to school with the pithas. When I went to school, I saw that everyone had arranged the cakes on the table. Me and my pies are arranged on the table with their pies. Everyone made different types of pithas. I was very happy to see such beautiful pithas.
25-30 types of pitha were made in our pitha festival. Among them, Dudh Pitha, Puli Pitha, Chitai Pitha, Vapha Pitha, Nakshi Pitha, Bara Pitha, Pua Pitha, Flower Basket Pitha, Jamai Pitha, Patishapata Pitha were attractive and beautiful. Everyone is dressed up very nicely. He stood in front of everyone's pitha, and the buying and selling of pitha started. 2 parents sold cakes at pitha festival. I was saying eat pitha, pitha, funny pitha.
A few students came and started eating my pita. Parents also come and buy pitha from my shop. In this way, I have sold almost more pithas. One by one, everyone sold everyone's pithas. I sold 400 rupees worth of pies. When our pita shopping is over. Everyone ate everyone's pita and saw how it was. Anyway, everyone's pita was a lot of fun. The pitha festival was over, I came home with the tray of pitha.
Be well everyone, we will talk about another life story next time.
I don't think that I have ever tasted a Pitha yet, or any of the 25 to 30 varieties either. I will try to remember to try a few different ones as I live some ways to a variety of various ethnic communities.
