Nunor Bora (Bengali: নুনর বড়া), also known as Nungora, Nunor Fita, Nuner Bora, Lobonor Fita, and Lobonor Bora is a savoury rice flour snack made of onions and ginger. Usually, turmeric is added, and gives the snack a golden appearance.^[1] It is a traditional and a popular PithainSylhet and Barak Valley.^[2][3][4] It is often eaten as a snack, with tea, and is very popular at Eid.^[5]

Onions, ginger, salt, turmeric, panch puran (optional), rice flour, ground rice, chopped coriander (optional) and water.^[6]

Nunor Bora are made by adding blended onion, ginger, and garlic to a large saucepan of boiling water, alongside some salt and turmeric powder.^[7] Sometimes, ground panch puran is added to enhance the taste and aroma.

A combination of plain flour, rice flour and/or ground rice is added to the saucepan, forming a spongy soft paste. When the paste is fully cooked, it is removed from the saucepan and left to cool.^[8] The paste is mixed into a dough, which is usually shaped into a ball. This ball of dough is flattened to make bread.^[9] The bread is cut up into smaller pieces, sometimes in a variety of different shapes. These pieces are either stored for later usage,^[10] or deep friend in oil to make edible rice cakes.^[1] These are the Nunor Bora.
