Healthy Litti Chokha

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

For Litti:

• 100 grams whole wheat flour
• 50 grams sattu
• 20 grams finely chopped onion
• 10 grams grated ginger
• 1 green chili, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ajwain
• 2 teaspoons mustard oil
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed for dough

For Chokha:

• 200 grams brinjal (eggplant)
• 100 grams tomatoes
• 100 grams boiled potatoes
• 20 grams finely chopped onion
• 10 grams grated ginger
• 5 grams garlic, minced
• 5 grams green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing

Procedure:

• In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ajwain, and salt. Gradually add water to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
• In another bowl, mix sattu, finely chopped onion, grated ginger, green chilies, mustard oil, and salt. Add a little water if needed to bind the mixture.
• Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a small circle, place a tablespoon of the sattu filling in the center, and fold the edges to seal. Roll it gently into a ball.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the littis on a baking tray and bake for about 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until they are golden brown. Alternatively, you can also cook them on a tawa (griddle) over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
• Roast the brinjal directly over the flame or in the oven until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Let it cool, then peel and mash.
• Boil the potatoes and mash them. In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted brinjal, mashed potatoes, chopped tomatoes, finely chopped onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, green chilies, mustard oil, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
• Plate the littis with a generous serving of chokha, garnished with fresh coriander leaves if desired.
