Bihar Style Homemade Litti Chokha

Litti Chokha is more than a meal in Bihar. It is a celebration of simplicity, earthy flavours, and slow cooking. Traditionally roasted over coal or cow-dung cakes, this rustic dish brings together sattu-filled litti with smoky mashed vegetables, making it wholesome, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.

Ingredients

For Litti

• Whole wheat flour – 2 cups
• Sattu (roasted gram flour) – 1 cup
• Mustard oil – 3 tablespoons
• Garlic – 5 to 6 cloves, finely chopped
• Green chilli – 1, finely chopped
• Ginger – 1 teaspoon, grated
• Onion – 1 small, finely chopped
• Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
• Ajwain – ½ teaspoon
• Kalonji – ½ teaspoon
• Fresh coriander – 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt – to taste
• Water – as needed

For Chokha

• Baingan (brinjal) – 1 large
• Tomatoes – 2 medium
• Potatoes – 2 medium
• Garlic – 5 to 6 cloves
• Green chilli – 1
• Mustard oil – 2 tablespoons
• Onion – 1 small, finely chopped
• Fresh coriander – 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt – to taste

Recipe

Preparing the Litti

In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon mustard oil. Add water gradually and knead into a firm dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.

In another bowl, combine sattu, garlic, ginger, green chilli, onion, ajwain, kalonji, lemon juice, coriander, salt, and 2 tablespoons mustard oil. Mix well to form a crumbly stuffing.

Divide the dough into equal portions. Flatten each, fill with sattu mixture, seal properly, and shape into round balls.

Roast the litti on a tandoor, charcoal, or gas flame on low heat, turning regularly until cooked through and evenly browned. Alternatively, bake at 180°C for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway. Dip hot litti in mustard oil before serving.

Preparing the Chokha

Roast brinjal, tomatoes, potatoes, and garlic directly on flame until the skin is charred and vegetables are soft. Peel once cooled.

Mash everything together with chopped onion, green chilli, salt, mustard oil, and coriander. Mix gently. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve hot litti with fresh chokha and extra mustard oil on the side.
