Litti is a whole wheat flour dough ball stuffed with a spiced mixture of sattu (roasted black chickpea flour).[1] Litti, along with chokha, is a complete meal that is popular in the Indian states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, the Nepalese state of Madhesh.[2] It is also a popular street food in small towns and cities. Over the years it has gained international recognition[3].[4][5]
It consists of a wheat dough ball filled with a mixture of roasted gram flour, spices, and herbs, which is then baked over coal or cow dung cakes, and served with chokha made from mashed vegetables.Traditionally, the wheat dough balls are roasted on hot charcoal or dried cow dung fire. They can also be baked in an oven, roasted on a tava or fried.[1]
