How to make Litti Chokha Recipe?
- Mix mustard oil, curd and salt with atta, thoroughly. Sprinkle water if required, and knead to prepare a poori-like semi soft dough. Keep aside for 30 minutes.
- Mince the red chilli pickle and add all the ingredients of the filling, except water. Mix thoroughly, sprinkle some water and mix to get a moist crumbly filling.
- Fill 2-3 tsp of the filling and form the litti by closing its mouth and making near round balls. Some people like to roll out a thick poori and then fill sattu. Both the methods are fine.
- Fill all the littis and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Preheat Tandoor for 5-7 minutes. Place the littis on the tray and bake till you see brown patches on the surface.
- Switch off the tandoor and leave the littis inside for 7-10 minutes
- Take out the baked littis in a large deep bowl. Add 3-4 tsp of ghee on top and mix with a wooden spatula, so that all the liitis are coated with ghee.
- While serving, press the littis from top with your thumb to break them. Pour 1/2-1 tsp ghee into each litti and serve hot with Chokha
