A popular snack of Assam , this kathali chapa (looks like the flower champa) or kordoi pitha is a delicious one for sure . We prepare this specially during our festival bihu. Easy to prepare, crunchy , crispy snack to have with your hot cup of evening tea. This pitha/sweetmeat or snack is also called as kordoi pitha as it is made exactly like a star fruit , which in Assam is called kordoi.
