The Lau Poda pitha is one of my favorite Pithas. And according to a story that dates back to my childhood days, I ended up burning my forearm trying to get it out of the hot oven.
In fact I still have a burn mark (though it has lightened considerably over time) to vouch for the authenticity of this tale.
Quite easy to prepare and with the additional health benefits of bottle gourd puree, I opted for a Sugar free version this Raja as my MIL is diabetic. But one can use sugar or jaggery as one pleases.
