Litti Chokha Bihar is a traditional Indian bread with authentic flavors and a satisfying texture. This versatile accompaniment is a family meal essential that pairs perfectly with curries and chutneys.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a charcoal grill for an authentic smoky flavor.
Mix the whole wheat flour, 0.5 tsp salt, 1 tbsp mustard oil, and carom seeds with enough water to make a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Combine roasted gram flour (sattu), chopped onion, coriander, half the green chilies, cumin seeds, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tbsp mustard oil in a bowl; add lemon juice and mix thoroughly for stuffing.
Divide the dough into equal balls, flatten each, place stuffing inside, then seal and shape into smooth balls. Ensure the stuffing is fully enclosed for even cooking.
Place the balls on a baking tray (or skewer for grilling) and bake/grill for 35–40 minutes until brown and crisp, turning occasionally for uniform color. Brush with ghee immediately after cooking.
For the chokha: Roast eggplant, potatoes, and tomato directly over flame or in the oven until skin is charred. Cool slightly, remove skins, and mash all together with remaining onion, green chilies, coriander, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tbsp mustard oil.
Serve litti hot with chokha on the side, accompanied by extra ghee if desired.
