Enduri pitha
steamed food of Odisha
Enḍuri piṭhā (Odia- ଏଣ୍ଡୁରି ପିଠା), also known as haḷadi patra piṭhā (Odia- ହଳଦି ପତ୍ର ପିଠା), is a variety of pitha made in the Indian state of Odisha, mostly in the northern, eastern and central regions. Ingredients are turmeric leaves, black gram, rice flour, coconut or chhena, jaggery, and black pepper. Enduri is mostly prepared during Prathamastami and Manabasa Gurubara. It is a light snack and has a laxative effect because of the turmeric leaves that are used to wrap the pitha. Traditionally, enduri were made by steaming in large earthen pots. Enduri is one of the many other pithas offered to Jagannath in the Jagannath Temple, Puri for sakala dhupa (breakfast).

Why this record matters
The phrase “steamed food of Odisha” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5376675. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
