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