Litti Chokha is a beloved rustic dish from the heart of Bihar. Crisp dough balls stuffed with spiced sattu (roasted gram flour) are fire-roasted and paired with smoky mashed vegetables called chokha. This wholesome meal packs a punch of authentic flavours. The secret lies in slow-roasting the littis and veggies on an open flame for irresistible smoky notes.
