Litti / Bati Chokha / Bhauri




Ingredients: Oven temp: 400 F- 200 C
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ghee
1 tsp salt
cold water to mix
oil for deep-frying


Filling:
1 cup sattu (powdered roasted gram)
2 tbsp oil
1/8 tsp asafoetida
2 tbsp powdered fennel seeds
2 tsp powdered coriander seeds
3/4 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin seeds
3/4 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp powdered amchoor (dried mango powder)

Method: Mix the filling ingredients together and keep aside.

Make the dough:
Mix in the flour, salt, ghee and enough water to make a stiff dough. Cover and leave to rest for at least 15-20 minutes.

Make about 20 smooth balls from the dough. Roll into 1/4" thick rounds. Pinch edge all around and wet.

Place a ball of the filling in the center, and bring the wet edges together, covering the filling completely. Press together to seal. Roll between palms to smoothen.

Bake in a pre-heated oven for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temperature and bake another 20-25 minutes, till brown and cooked through.

If you want to increase the taste, then serve these hot Litti with ghee poured on top.
