Recipe
1
Mix whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons of ghee, and enough water to knead a firm dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine sattu, chopped onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, coriander leaves, ajwain, mustard oil, lemon juice, salt, and a splash of water to form a crumbly yet cohesive filling.
3
Divide the dough and filling into equal portions. Flatten a dough ball, stuff with sattu mixture, seal the edges, and shape into round balls known as littis.
4
Bake the littis in a preheated oven at 200°C for 25 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and slightly charred. Dip hot littis in melted ghee.
5
For the chokha, roast the eggplant and tomatoes directly over an open flame until the skin is charred and the inside is soft. Peel off the skin.
6
Mash the roasted eggplant, tomatoes, and boiled potatoes together in a bowl. Mix in raw mustard oil, chopped onions, green chilies, minced garlic, and salt to taste. Serve warm with the prepared littis.
