Litti

Ingredients:

For wheat flour dough:

• 1.5 cup of whole wheat flour (Littis are more crunchy if make from white flour)
• 1 cup yogurt (plain curd)
  (Make dough from wheat flour using only yogurt, without any water. The dough should
  be soft and properly kneaded. Keep aside with cover.)

For Filling:

• 1 cup of Sattu (a special gram flour)
• 4 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
• 1 inch Ginger (finely chopped)
• 2-3 Green chilies (finely chopped)
• ½ cup of Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• ½ tsp Kalonji
• 2 tbsp  Mustard seeds
• 1 tsp Carom seeds
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1-2 tbsp Mircha achar masala (fillings from the red chili pickle)
• Salt to taste

Preparation:

1. Mix all the stuffing's ingredients with sattu together nicely.
2. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to make the stuffing moist and easy to stuff.
3. Now make 7-8 balls from the wheat flour dough.
4. Dust each ball with dry wheat flour and make a patty roughly 2.5" to 3" diameter in size with hand.
5. Stuff 2 to 3 teaspoon mixture of sattu & stuffing in the center of the patty and close it from all sides.
6. When all the littis are stuffed, pre-heat the oven and put all the litties on a foil and bake until brown
   or black spots appear one the side of littis.
7. Then turn over the littis and bake for few more minutes until other side is brown as well.
8. Take out and dip in pure ghee or butter and serve with  Dhaniya chutney.
