Ingredients

Onions, ginger, salt, turmeric, panch puran (optional), rice flour, ground rice, chopped coriander (optional) and water.[6]

Method
Nunor Bora and Handesh

Nunor Bora are made by adding blended onion, ginger, and garlic to a large saucepan of boiling water, alongside some salt and turmeric powder.[7] Sometimes, ground panch puran is added to enhance the taste and aroma.

A combination of plain flour, rice flour and/or ground rice is added to the saucepan, forming a spongy soft paste. When the paste is fully cooked, it is removed from the saucepan and left to cool.[8] The paste is mixed into a dough, which is usually shaped into a ball. This ball of dough is flattened to make bread.[9] The bread is cut up into smaller pieces, sometimes in a variety of different shapes. These pieces are either stored for later usage,[10] or deep friend in oil to make edible rice cakes.[1] These are the Nunor Bora.
