This is inspired from sticky rice balls filled with coconut and jaggery, which we have drizzled with a chutney made out of our aamsotto and some khejur. Binni’s stickiness is perfect to be shaped and moulded around skewers, a nod to lollipops.

 

about the rice

Generally grown in the hilly areas of Bangladesh, Binni is a naturally sticky rice that is quite popular in and around the Chittagong area: the famed modhu-bhaat being one of the most popular dishes using Binni. Consumption aside, Binni forms a significant part of the cultural landscape of the region. It is believed to be auspicious and forms a crucial element of marriages and other celebrations. We source ours from Alipurduar, the foothills in North Bengal.
