Instructions to make Litti Chokha:
- Firstly, we will knead flour for Litti dough..
- So in a big plate or bowl, take 3 cups wheat flour, add salt and ghee and mix very nicely..
- You should get such texture..
- Now taking normal water gradually, knead the flour into medium dough normally. Here i have used more than 1/2 cup water..
- Now cover with cloth and let it rest for minimum 15-20 minutes..
- Now lets prepare filling to be filled inside litti..
- In a big mixing bowl, take sattu flour, add salt, red chilli powder, carom seeds, roasted cumin seeds powder and dry mix..
- Now add onions, green chillies, fresh coriander, ginger garlic paste..
- Lastly add most important element-Mango pickle! Mashed ! Mix everything nicely..
- Now it will be still powdery which will not be comfortable to be used as filling inside..
- So sprinkle little water until the filling becomes muddy in colour and gets the texture to get collected as shown..
- Now coming back to Litti Dough- After the resting time is over, grease with little ghee again and knead a little..
- Now take a small portion of dough and spread it like small hollow round shape as shown..
- Take the filling and keep inside it, covering and closing from all sides very carefully making into a smooth ball..
- Now brush it with ghee from all sides..
- Preheat a tandoor or Otg for 10 minutes. Here i am making litties in tandoor today..
- Place all the littis on the rod. Cook for 15 minutes at low medium flame flipping sides in between..
- Cook until half charred and half light brown..
- 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.
- Litti is ready. Dip in Ghee at the time of serving..
- 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..
- So firstly roast the tomatoes on gas. Better if you roast garlic and green chillies along with it..
- Then let it cool down and peel skin. Cut into pieces for easy mashing..
- Now in a big mixing bowl, take mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes, green chillies, coriander leaves, garlic,lemon juice, salt and roasted cumin seeds powder..
- Mix and mash everything nicely! Now we will give smoky flavour to it..
- Burn coals on a burner..
- Place the coals in a steel bowl and place in between the chokha..
- Pour the ghee on top of coal and immediately cover with plate to capture all smoke inside..
- Leave for 15 minutes as it is..
- After 15 minutes, remove the coal bowl. Mix and your chokha is also ready!.
- Now serve the litties hot with spicy chokha and Tomato Garlic chutney. Accompany with Green mint chutney and spicy onion salad for enhanced taste..
