Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Firstly, we will knead flour for Litti dough.

* Step 2

So in a big plate or bowl, take 3 cups wheat flour, add salt and ghee and mix very nicely.

* Step 3

You should get such texture.

* Step 4

Now taking normal water gradually, knead the flour into medium dough normally. Here i have used more than 1/2 cup water.

* Step 5

Now cover with cloth and let it rest for minimum 15-20 minutes.

* Step 6

Now lets prepare filling to be filled inside litti.

* Step 7

In a big mixing bowl, take sattu flour, add salt, red chilli powder, carom seeds, roasted cumin seeds powder and dry mix.

* Step 8

Now add onions, green chillies, fresh coriander, ginger garlic paste.

* Step 9

Lastly add most important element-Mango pickle! Mashed ! Mix everything nicely.

* Step 10

Now it will be still powdery which will not be comfortable to be used as filling inside.

* Step 11

So sprinkle little water until the filling becomes muddy in colour and gets the texture to get collected as shown.

* Step 12

Now coming back to Litti Dough- After the resting time is over, grease with little ghee again and knead a little.

* Step 13

Now take a small portion of dough and spread it like small hollow round shape as shown.

* Step 14

Take the filling and keep inside it, covering and closing from all sides very carefully making into a smooth ball.

* Step 15

Now brush it with ghee from all sides.

* Step 16

Preheat a tandoor or Otg for 10 minutes. Here i am making litties in tandoor today.

* Step 17

Place all the littis on the rod. Cook for 15 minutes at low medium flame flipping sides in between.

* Step 18

Cook until half charred and half light brown.

* Step 19

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

* Step 20

Litti is ready. Dip in Ghee at the time of serving.

* Step 21

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.

* Step 22

So firstly roast the tomatoes on gas. Better if you roast garlic and green chillies along with it.

* Step 23

Then let it cool down and peel skin. Cut into pieces for easy mashing.

* Step 24

Now in a big mixing bowl, take mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes, green chillies, coriander leaves, garlic,lemon juice, salt and roasted cumin seeds powder.
