Ingredients Serving: 4
Whole Wheat Flour 1 cup
Sattu or Roasted gram flour 1 cup
Onion 2 large sized
Garlic 2 tsp
Ginger 1 tsp
Ajwain/ Carom seeds 1 tsp
Black cumin seeds 1 tsp
Mango pickle 4 tbsp
Lemon 2 tbsp
Green chillies 5 nos
Coriander leaves, a handful
Mustard oil 5 tbsp
Ghee as required to dip the littis in
Salt as per taste
Potato 2 medium sized
Brinjal (long ones) 1
Tomato 2 medium sized
Instructions
In a large bowl, add in the wheat flour, then add salt, few ajwain seeds, black cumin seeds and mix it well.
Add water little by little to form a firm dough (it should be of the consistency of a roti dough). Then keep the dough to rest.
In another bowl, mix in the sattu/ roasted gram flour, ajwain, black cumin seeds, pickle, 2 chopped onion, 1 tsp finely chopped garlic, 1 tsp finely chopped ginger, some chopped coriander, salt and mix it well together. Then add 1 tsp mustard oil and combine it well together.
To prepare the potato chokha, pressure cook the potatoes. Once cooked, let them cool and mash well.
Add in the salt, chopped onion, 1/4 tsp mustard oil, 1/4 tsp finely chopped green chillies, some chopped coriander, 1/4 tsp finely chopped garlic. Mix everything well, the chokha is ready.
To prepare the brinjal and tomato chokha, coat oil on the outer layer of the brinjal and tomatoes. On a stove top, roast them till they are done.
Once they cool down, remove the skin of brinjal and tomatoes. Mash it well.
Add in the chopped onion, 1/4 tsp mustard oil, 1/4 tsp finely chopped green chillies, some chopped coriander, 1/4 tsp finely chopped garlic, salt to taste and mix it well.
Divide the lifting dough into smaller portions like we do similarly for rotis. Take one portion and form a bowl using both hands.
Stuff in the sattu mixture (ensure you have enough filling so that the litti doesn't taste bland).
Once all the littis are filled, place them on a microwave stand, then place this in the microwave oven. Turn the grill mode on in the microwave and grill for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, turn the littis to the other side and grill for another 10 minutes. Once the littis turn golden in colour, take them out of the oven.
Dip the littis in ghee and serve them hot with the chokha.
