Directions<br>
- A. LITTI:
- In a bowl, take the sattu/ roasted gram flour, add mustard oil to it and mix well. Now add the nigella seeds, carrom seeds, chopped onion, red chili powder, lemon juice, coriander leaves and salt to taste. Mix well and keep it aside. Filling for the litti is ready.
- Now let’s make dough for the litti. In a bowl take the wheat flour, add ghee to it and mix well till you get a crumbled texture. Crumbled texture will give you a flakey litti. Add salt to taste and knead a semi hard dough using water.
- Now let’s make the litti balls. Take small portion of the dough and roll on your palm. Make a dent in the middle of the dough and make bowl like structure. Fill it with the sattu mixture. Bring the edges together and seal. Again roll it on your palm and flatten a bit between your palms. Keep it aside. Repeat till all are done.
- Baking the litti: We will use gas stove to bake the litti. Keep the gas flame on medium high and place a steel rack over the flame. Place 2-3 litti over the steel rack and cook on both the sides by flipping on regular intervals using a kitchen steel thong. Once cooked on both the sides, dip the litti in the ghee for few seconds and keep it covered till served.
B. CHOKHA:
- Take all the tomatoes and roast them over the gas flame till the peelings come out easily. Peel the tomatoes. Keep 2 for chokha and remaining for the chutney.
- In a bowl, take the mashed potatoes, add 2 of the roasted tomatoes and mash well. Then add the chopped onion, crushed ginger-garlic, chopped green chilies and coriander leaves. Mix well. Then season the chokha with salt and mustard oil. Mix well and keep is aside.
C. TAMATAR CHUTNEY/INDIAN STYLE TOMATO SALSA:
- Take the peeled roasted tomatoes in a bowl. Mash the tomatoes till juices comes out and flesh gets crushed.
- To the crushed tomatoes, add the chopped onion, crushed ginger-garlic, chopped green chilies and coriander leaves. Mix well and season with salt and mustard oil. Chutney is ready.
Serve the litti hot with chokha and chutney. Since the litti is served hot, make the chokha and chutney before hand itself.
