Bora saul

Bora saul is a variety of glutinous rice found in Assam. It has an important role in Assamese traditional occasions like Bihu. It is used both as Jolpan (snacks) and Pitha (rice cake). Soaked and ground "bora saul" is used in preparing Pitha. Boiled "bora saul" is served as Jolpan with curd or milk, jaggery or sugar etc. During the Ahom reign in Assam, "bora saul" with duck-egg was used in constructing buildings because of its sticky quality.
