Poda pitha (Also Poda pitha, IPA: /Poɖɔ piʈʰa/, Odia: ପୋଡ଼ ପିଠା) is slow-cooked pitha. It is made by slowly baking fermented rice, black gram, grated coconut and jaggery overnight.[1][2][3] Its crust is slightly burnt, while the inside is soft and white. Poda pitha is generally made during Raja Parba.[4][5] It is served to Lord Jagannath and his siblings at Mausi Maa Temple on their way back after Ratha-Yatra, from Gundicha Temple to Jagannath Temple, Puri.
