Gurauthi

Gurauthi (also spelled Gurauti) is a traditional Bihari sweet dish made primarily from khoya (reduced milk solids) and sugar. It is characterized by its distinctive, slightly hard exterior and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior. Gurauthi is typically prepared during festivals and special occasions in Bihar, India. The khoya is often fried or roasted before being combined with sugar syrup, resulting in a rich and flavorful confection. The texture and sweetness level can vary depending on the specific recipe and preparation method. Gurauthi can also be flavored with cardamom or other spices to enhance its taste. It's considered a treasured sweet in Bihari cuisine, often passed down through generations.
