Prime Minister Narendra Modi devoured traditional snacks native to Chhattisgarh during the 9th edition of ‘Pariksha pe Charcha’. The Prime Minister tasted salty snack, made out of besan, called thethri, which is usually eaten on the occasion of Diwali festival.
Likening thethri to another regional delicacy called chakli, PM Modi said, “In Maharashtra, it is known as chakli.”
After tasting thethri, PM Modi relished another local delicacy called khurmi. The student who offered a box full of this special sweet said that this local dish made up of gur (jaggery), atta (flour) and suji (semolina). In the video clip, PM Modi can be seen offering the snacks to all the students present there.
