Littli Choka is a famous snack from Bihar. Served along with dhal, it can also be served as breakfast, lunch or dinner. I have made a version of Litti and Aloo Choka, but they were not the authentic recipes. Litti is made with wheat flour. Wheat flour dough is stuffed with sattu filling known as the Pitthi and is roasted either in oven or tandoor or deep fried. The traditional method involves cooking them on Upla (dried cow dung) or hot sand but nowadays they are baked in oven. When litti choka was announced as the challenge for the southern group in the South Vs North challenge this month, I went through the recipe at Nupur's (host of this month's challenge) page thoroughly. It was completely different from what I made. She even gave the preparation of sattu flour which is used to stuff the littis. As sattu is not available here, I made sattu at home as per her directions and made litti and choka yesterday for our evening snacks. I served them along with green chutney and it was a perfect combination. I loved the texture of litti and the flavourful stuffuing with sattu. As sattu was home made it had a nice aroma and we just loved the combination. You need to try this to know about the taste. I even had it for breakfast today.
