Ingredients

• 2 cups Gram flour (besan)
• 0.5 cup Rice flour
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
• 2 tablespoons Ghee (or vegetable oil for vegan)
• 1 medium Brinjal (eggplant)
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 2 pieces Green chilies
• 1 inch, grated Ginger
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.25 cup, chopped Coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Mustard oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine gram flour and rice flour. Add salt, carom seeds, and 1 tablespoon ghee (or oil).

Step 2

Gradually pour water into the flour mixture and knead into a firm dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about 10-12). Flatten each ball slightly.

Step 5

Place the littis on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake them for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Step 6

Meanwhile, pierce the brinjal, tomatoes, and potatoes with a fork and roast them over an open flame or in the oven until charred and cooked through.

Step 7

Once roasted, peel the skin off the brinjal, tomatoes, and potatoes. Mash them together in a bowl.

Step 8

Add green chilies, ginger, garlic, chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice, and mustard oil to the mashed mixture. Mix well to make the choka.

Step 9

Serve the roasted litti hot with the prepared choka.
