Whole-wheat balls stuffed with roasted sattu, garlic and ajwain, roasted over coal and served with smoked brinjal-tomato chokha and ghee.
The Taste of Bihar·Madhapur, Hyderabad
Food from Bihar. Made in Hyderabad.
Litti roasted over coal, never baked in an oven. Brinjal charred whole on open flame until the skin lifts. Sattu ground fresh, mustard oil unrefined and pure vegetarian throughout. These are recipes that came down through families, and we cook them the long way because the short way tastes like the short way.

What Hyderabad has been ordering this week.
Two litti, chokha, a seasonal curry, ghugni, rice, dal, pickle, papad and a sweet. The full plate, the way it lands at a Bihari lunch.
Wheat and jaggery biscuits fried in ghee, pressed in a wooden mould. Made for Chhath, eaten all year.
Four litti with both chokhas, ghugni, and a thekua. What we would order ourselves.
Roasted gram-flour stuffing with mustard oil, lemon and green chilli, folded into whole-wheat paratha. Mild, filling and high in protein.
Roasted gram flour whisked with water, lemon, black salt and roasted cumin. Bihar's summer drink, and better for you than anything in a bottle.
