- If there’s one combination that is the hallmark of Bihari cuisine, it is the Litti Chokha. This is basically a very traditional and rustic dish of spiced sattu (roasted black chickpea flour) stuffed whole wheat dough balls called Litti. This is classically paired with a simple veggie mash essentially with onion, garlic, green chilies and mustard oil, called the chokha. It is a delicacy in the food culture of both Bihar as well as Jharkhand. Here in this post, I have shared the recipe of the Litti in particular and also the three chokha variants.
How to make Litti Chokha
Prepare Dough For Litti
1. In a mixing bowl, take 2 cups (240 grams) whole wheat flour (atta), ¼ teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon ghee or oil.
2. Add water in parts and begin to knead. I added ¾ cup water. Depending on the quality of flour, you can add ¾ to 1 cup water.
3. Knead to a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough and set aside the dough to rest.
Make Stuffing
1. In a mortar-pestle, take ½ teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera) and ½ teaspoon fennel seeds (saunf). Lightly crush and keep aside.
2. Take 1 cup roasted gram flour or roasted black chickpea flour (sattu) in a mixing bowl or pan.
3. Add the crushed cumin seeds and fennel seeds.
4. Now, add ½ teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain), ½ teaspoon nigella seeds (kalonji) and ½ teaspoon red chili powder.
5. Next, add 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped green chilies, 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger and 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic.
6. Add 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves, ¼ teaspoon black salt and regular salt as per taste.
7. Add 2 teaspoons lemon juice.
8. Next, add 2 teaspoons mustard oil.
9. Mix very well.
10. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons water all over and mix the flour with water evenly. Add more water, if required.
The stuffing mixture should not be too dry or too wet. If the mixture is dry, then the dryness is felt while eating Littis.
Assemble, Shape and Make Litti
11. After the dough has rested for 30 minutes, make small or medium sized balls from the dough.
12. First method - sprinkling little flour, roll each dough ball to a circle of about 5 to 6 inches.
13. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the stuffing in the center.
14. Pleat and join the edges.
15. Press the joined part and lightly roll the stuffed dough balls in your palms, so as to get a round shape. Keep aside.
16. Second method - flatten the dough ball with your palms and make a shallow cup.
17. Now, place the stuffing.
18. Gently bring together the outer dough cover in the center, while pressing the stuffing. Join and seal the edges.
This is a bit tricky. So, use the method which suits you. I have mentioned 2 ways of stuffing.
19. Here is the prepared litti with the second method. Keep the prepared Littis under a cotton towel or napkin, so that the dough does not dry out.
Bake Litti
20. Place the prepared Littis on a baking tray, which has been greased with some oil. Grease baking tray well, otherwise the Littis can stick to the tray.
21. Place the tray in the preheated oven at 200° C/390° F. Preheat the oven at 200° C/390° F for 20 minutes, prior to baking.
22. After 10 to 15 minutes, remove the tray and flip each Litti. Keep the tray back in the oven.
23. Again after 10 to 15 minutes, remove the tray and flip each Litti. Place the tray back in the oven. You will have to do this once or twice more, for even baking.
24. Bake for a total of about 30 to 35 minutes till the crust looks done with some light brown or golden brown spots on them.
Timing will vary upon the size and capacity of the oven. It took me about 40 minutes.
25. Brush them all over with some melted ghee.
26. This step is optional and only to get charred spots on the Litti. Secure it in a pair of tongs and place on fire. Rotate for a few seconds till you see some charred spots on it.
27. Serve the Bihari style Litti with a chokha of your choice accompanied with a small bowl of melted ghee.
The litti is broken, dipped in ghee and then eaten with the chokha. You can also sprinkle some ghee on the Litti and then eat them.
