Litti - Chokha is a very popular food of north Bihar.It is generally served with a bowl of melted pure desi ghee.Made with Whole wheat atta and stuffed with Sattu (a special gram flour).  Chokha is similar to the ennai kathirikkai minus the tamarind in it. Instead tomato is used.

All things should be according to your requirement. For example, I am going to explain for two persons:

For Litti

 
·         Atta Flour ¼ Kg
·         Sattu (gram flour) ¼ kg
·         Garlic 1 piece
·         Ginger 50 gm
·         Green chilies 5 piece
·         Cilantro (dhaniya) leaves 2 or 3 pieces
·         Thyme (Ajwain) ½ spoon
·         Lemon juice 2 Spoon
·         Salt according to taste
·         Mustard oil ½ Spoon
·         Onion 1 piece

For chokha

 
·         1 piece big Brinjal (Baigan)
·         Tomato 2 pieces
·         Salt to taste
·         Greenchillies chopped

Method of Cooking Litti:

·         Arrange all the ingredients of making Sattu (gram flour).

·         Now, cut all the ingredients to mix in Sattu.
·         Take chopped onions, green chillies chopped, lemon juice, chopped ginger, garlic, and thyme and mix all the ingredients in sattu.   
·         Knead the atta fluur nicely and make a cup like shape.
·         Fill the ready sattu in the cup and close it .
·         You can fry litti in either mustered oil or in refined oil.

Method of Cooking Chokha:

This is similar to the enna kathirikkai minus the tamarind in it.  Now, you have to keep brinjal (baigan) and tomato on lower flame. You should rotate them also to cook better. After that you can remove baigan skin and mix with tomato, green chili, salt and dhaniya leaves.
