Tips & Secrets

  • The secret to a great pitika is using raw mustard oil; do not heat the oil as the raw pungency is essential for the taste.
  • Always use fresh, homemade chhena; it provides a creamy texture that store-bought versions lack.
  • Adding a squeeze of lemon juice can provide a tangy twist if you prefer a sharper taste profile.
