Why “Saanche Ki Mithaas”?
Named after the little wooden mould
A saancha is the carved wooden mould that gives every thekua its pattern. In Maa’s kitchen it has pressed thousands of them, every Chhath, for family, neighbours and prasad.

The thekua our neighbours ask for by name. Made by Maa, the way it has always been made in Bihar for Chhath: whole-wheat atta and sooji, kneaded with pure ghee, sugar and a generous pinch of saunf, pressed by hand in a wooden saancha and fried slow in pure ghee until deep golden.
Crisp at the edges, a gentle bite in the middle, gently sweet and never cloying. It goes as well with your evening chai as it does in a tiffin, on a long train ride, or in a box for someone far from home.
Net quantity: 300 g per pack. Choose 1, 2 or 3 packs: bigger boxes, better value. Full ingredients, allergens and label details are under “Product information”.
