KHULNA: Innumerable occasional pitha (traditional cake) shops pop up at road junctions and footpaths in different areas of the city. Chitai, steamed and oil-fried pithas are available in these shops. The main attraction is the hot smoky chitai pitha which becomes tasty with ‘sharisha’, green chili bhorta and date ‘molasses’. These shops get crowded as soon as the sun sets amid the chilly biting winter. This photo was taken last night from a crowded footpath of Dolkhola More.
