with
pure
desi
ghee
teamed
up
with
baingan
and
aloo
ka
chokha
reminds
us
of
the
typical
Bihari
culinary
experience.
Litti-Chokha
is
a
special
delicacy
from
Bihar
that
is
famous
everywhere
across
India.
The
flavours
represent
the
earthiness
of
Bihar
and
you
can
find
it
at
street
stalls
and
even
in
fine-dine
restaurants.
This
dish
underwent
many
changes
as
new
rulers
came
in.
During
the
Mughal
period,
emperors
were
served
littis
with
payas
and
shorbas.
Eventually,
Litti
came
to
Bihar
and
was
paired
with
Chokha.
Litti
Chokha
is
a
healthy
combination
because
it
does
not
have
too
much
cooking
oil
added
to
it.
Both
are
either
roasted
or
baked.
Of
course,
desi
ghee
adds
to
its
calories
but
you
can
choose
to
avoid
it
or
use
a
little
bit
of
it.
Also,
pure
desi
ghee
comes
with
its
own
set
of
health
benefits
unlike
your
refined
oils.
The
sattu
powder
used
to
make
Litti
has
amazing
cooling
properties
and
keeps
you
energized
throughout
the
day.
Chokha
is
made
with
grilled
eggplant
which
is
a
brilliant
source
of
dietary
fiber,
vitamins,
manganese,
folate
and
phytonutrients
like
nasunin
and
chlorogenic
acid
that
act
as
antioxidants.
