This video explores the tradition of Dhoul Phida, a beloved steamed rice cake, through the story of AN16 and his son. Together, they prepare and sell this cherished delicacy, which holds deep cultural and culinary significance in the community. Made from rice flour, jaggery and coconut and carefully steamed to perfection, Dhoul Phida is a simple yet flavourful snack enjoyed by many. The film captures not only the step-by-step preparation process but also the bond between generations as they work side by side and deep connection between food, identity, and heritage.
