Step 1: Prepare the Dough for Litti

1. In a mixing bowl, add Royal Bharat Whole Wheat Flour, carom seeds, a pinch of salt, and a bit of Royal Bharat Kacchi Ghani Mustard oil.
2. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth and firm dough. Cover and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a separate bowl, combine Royal Bharat Channa sattu, finely chopped garlic, ginger, green chillies, cumin seeds, mustard oil, and pickle masala (if using). Mix well.
2. Add a little water to this mixture to make it sticky, so it can hold shape when stuffed. Adjust salt and spices as needed.

Step 3: Shape the Litti

1. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
2. Flatten a ball in your hand, place a spoonful of filling in the centre, and bring the edges together to seal it.
3. Roll it gently between your palms to make a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 4: Cook the Litti

1. Traditionally, litti is cooked over a coal fire for that smoky flavour, but you can bake it or cook it on a gas stove as well.
2. Baking method: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the littis on a baking tray and bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through.
3. Once done, brush the littis generously with ghee.

Step 5: Prepare the Chokha

1. Roast the eggplant and tomatoes over an open flame or in the oven until their skins are charred and they’re cooked through.
2. Once cooled, peel the skins and mash the eggplant, tomatoes, and boiled potatoes together.
3. Add chopped garlic, green chillies, onion, Royal Bharat Kachi Ghani oil, salt, and coriander leaves. Mix well.

Step 6: Serve

Serve the hot littis with a generous side of chokha and a dollop of ghee on top.
