I heard a lot about aunthentic Litti Chokha and wanted to try it since long. So, tried by best and it came out wonderful! Much loved by all.
Made Litti Chokha by following 3 steps.
Firstly, made Chokha from Eggplant and Tomato by adding one boiled potato as well.
In the second step, kneaded dough for Litti and lastly, made Litti stuffing with roasted gram flour to substitute Sattu and that too was nice.
Serves best with coriander chutney and Potato Chokha with some sliced onions, lemon and green chilli.

Litti with Afghani Gadda Litti with Afghani Gadda

#ebook -45#onerecipeonetree#2019favGadda- a rich, meaty broth that has a close resemblance to the 'paya' (trotters) soup, usually eaten with nan or bread. I served it with the litti and the fusion created a blast of flavours with every spoon. A perfect supper for winters.Can be cooked in a slow cooker too as I love the idea of getting a bowl of warmth ready when you reach home.

#father #goldenapron3 #goboundlesswithayushiI 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.
