Kesa mithoi is a soft rice flour ball which cannot be preserved for a longer period. While poka mithoi is a harder one which can be preserved for many days. The longer you preserve the harder it will be. Here I have some sweet memories of my childhood related to poka mithoi. My late grandmother used to make poka mithoi. As she lived in Nalbari district which is little far from my place Dibrugarh, we couldn't visit her regularly. Only my father often visited her. So when my father came back home, my grandmother packed for us some poka mithoi ladoos which sometimes were so hard that we were unable to break those ladoos with our tooth.
