Ingredients For Litti Recipe

Methods
  • 1. Preparing Dough Cover For LittiIn a mixing bowl, take whole wheat flour/atta and salt. Also add ghee .Now add water in parts and knead to a smooth soft dough.
  • 2. Knead till smooth and soft. Cover the dough and keep aside.
  • 3. Making Stuffing For LittiIn a mortar-pestle take cumin seeds and saunf (fennel seeds). Lightly crush them and keep aside.Take 1 cup sattu/roasted gram flour in a mixing bowl .Add the slightly crushed cumin seeds and fennel seeds.
  • 4. Now add ajwain, nigella seeds and red chilli powder, chopped green chilies,finely chopped ginger, finely chopped garlic, 2chopped coriander leaves and black salt. Also add regular salt as for taste.Also add lemon juice and mustard oil.Mix very well.
  • 5. Sprinkle water all over and mix the flour with water evenly. After 30 minutes, now make medium sized balls from the dough.
  • 6. Sprinkling some flour, roll each dough ball to a circle of about 5 to 6 inches.Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the stuffing in the center.Pleat and then join the edges. Press the joined part and lightly roll the stuffed dough balls in your palms, so as to get a round shape. Keep aside.
  • 7. Keep the prepared littis under a cotton towel or napkin, so that the dough does not dry out.Prepare all stuffed littis this way and place them on a baking tray, which has been greased with some oil or ghee.
  • 8. Place the littis in a preheated oven at 200 degrees celsius. Preheat the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degree celsius prior to baking.After 10 to 15 minutes of baking, remove the tray and flip each litti. Keep the tray back in the oven.
  • 9. Again after 10 to 15 minutes, remove the baking tray and flip each litti. Place the tray back in the oven. This has to be done once or twice more for even baking of littis.Bake till the crust looks done with some light brown or golden brown spots on them. Timing will vary upon the size and litres of oven. It took me about 45 minutes for these to bake.
  • 10. Brush the littis with some melted ghee all over.Serve these bihari style litti with red chili pickel.
