I am so glad to share this recipe with you today as luckily i am at my Dad's place right now and this contest came. Made his favourite Litti Chokha today and you can see his happiness in the picture 😊
I have made this bihar famous dish without eggplant as my Dad doesn't like it. So gave chokha a twist and has infused smoky flavour into it with the help of coal to replace the eggplant roasted flavour. Do try this recipe.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Firstly, we will knead flour for Litti dough.
- 2
So in a big plate or bowl, take 3 cups wheat flour, add salt and ghee and mix very nicely.
- 3
You should get such texture.
- 4
Now taking normal water gradually, knead the flour into medium dough normally. Here i have used more than 1/2 cup water.
- 5
Now cover with cloth and let it rest for minimum 15-20 minutes.
- 6
Now lets prepare filling to be filled inside litti.
- 7
In a big mixing bowl, take sattu flour, add salt, red chilli powder, carom seeds, roasted cumin seeds powder and dry mix.
- 8
Now add onions, green chillies, fresh coriander, ginger garlic paste.
- 9
Lastly add most important element-Mango pickle! Mashed ! Mix everything nicely.
- 10
Now it will be still powdery which will not be comfortable to be used as filling inside.
- 11
So sprinkle little water until the filling becomes muddy in colour and gets the texture to get collected as shown.
- 12
Now coming back to Litti Dough- After the resting time is over, grease with little ghee again and knead a little.
- 13
Now take a small portion of dough and spread it like small hollow round shape as shown.
- 14
Take the filling and keep inside it, covering and closing from all sides very carefully making into a smooth ball.
- 15
Now brush it with ghee from all sides.
- 16
Preheat a tandoor or Otg for 10 minutes. Here i am making litties in tandoor today.
- 17
Place all the littis on the rod. Cook for 15 minutes at low medium flame flipping sides in between.
- 18
Cook until half charred and half light brown.
- 19
Please note: if you are baking in otg then bake at 180 with both rods on in a preheated oven. You can also bake in Appam pan but it takes 30-40 minutes and size is very small
- 20
Litti is ready. Dip in Ghee at the time of serving.
- 21
Now making chokha- it is authentically made with potatoes and Eggplant but not everybody eats eggplant. So i have made chokha here from potatoes goving them smoky flavour through coals in order to compensate for the eggplant roasting.
- 22
So firstly roast the tomatoes on gas. Better if you roast garlic and green chillies along with it.
- 23
Then let it cool down and peel skin. Cut into pieces for easy mashing.
- 24
Now in a big mixing bowl, take mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes, green chillies, coriander leaves, garlic,lemon juice, salt and roasted cumin seeds powder.
- 25
Mix and mash everything nicely! Now we will give smoky flavour to it.
- 26
Burn coals on a burner.
- 27
Place the coals in a steel bowl and place in between the chokha.
- 28
Pour the ghee on top of coal and immediately cover with plate to capture all smoke inside.
- 29
Leave for 15 minutes as it is.
- 30
After 15 minutes, remove the coal bowl. Mix and your chokha is also ready!
- 31
Now serve the litties hot with spicy chokha and Tomato Garlic chutney. Accompany with Green mint chutney and spicy onion salad for enhanced taste.
