Litti Chokha

"Litti Chokha" The famous dish among Bihar, M.P. & zarkhand. Litti  looks like Batti (Rajasthani famous bread) but a very small different,   Litti is made up of sattu (which is roasted chickpea flour) stuffed in dough. then it boiled and very lightly fried since the boiling has done most of the cooking. Another method for making Litti Choka  is roasting them in an oven (traditionally clay and more recently metal ones that can be heated on a stove). Chokha is prepared with different vegetables. It can be with mashed potatoes or mashed eggplants and also mashed tomatoes. The three can be combined as well and chokha usually mixed with fried onions and spices.This dish served in dinner, small party, or in holidays My family like this litti with Rajasthani daal batti’s dal .  so let’s check….

Here in this recipe i used Aloo (potato) chokha if u like u made with eggplant or with tomato chokha.
My family like this litti with Rajasthani daal battis daal so usually I serve this litti with daal recipe is here http://mycookingdiarys.blogspot.com/2011/03/daal-batti.html
Some time I’m not stuff this litti and bake without stuffing and its turn out very nice..and serve with daal.
Some time changes are good so what ever u like try at your end and give ... feedback
