About Litti

Litti is a traditional dish from the cuisine of Bihar, India, often enjoyed across northern and eastern regions of the country. It consists of round balls made from whole wheat flour, stuffed with a savory filling of spiced roasted gram flour (sattu), herbs, and spices like cumin, coriander, and ginger. Typically served with chokha (mashed vegetables), ghee, or curd, Litti is known for its rustic, smoky flavor as it is traditionally cooked over a wood fire or hot coals. Rich in fiber and protein due to the sattu filling, it is a wholesome meal that provides sustained energy. However, the addition of ghee or serving it fried can increase its calorie and fat content. When baked and paired with nutrient-packed chokha, Litti becomes a healthier choice, balancing taste and nutrition with its unique combination of grains, legumes, and fresh vegetables.
