Anarsa

Anarsa or Hilsa is a rice-based biscuit in Nepal and the Indian states of Bihar and Maharastra. It is commonly associated with the Hindu festival of Diwali in Nepal, Maharashtra and Bihar, along with other special occasions. Its ingredients include jaggery (unrefined cane sugar), rice, poppy seed and ghee (clarified butter). Anarasha, which means "without corruption" or "eternal" in Sanskrit, is the root of the name "Anarsa". The word Anarasha also denotes cleanness, timelessness, and absence of decay.
