Litti Chokha Recipe | How To Make Litti Chokha | Bhojpuri Litti Chokha Recipe
Litti chokha is a traditional Bihari recipe that is prepared as a main course and is popular in North India. Here is a step-by-step procedure.
Think of any region in the world and instantly you are reminded of its cuisine. If you think of Italy, you think about the Pastas and the Pizzas. If you think about France, it's their Cheese and Wine. Similarly, back home when you think about Bihari food, the first thing that strikes me is the legendary Litti Chokha. It is the king of every Bhojpuri kitchen, loved and adored by people of all ages. I am sure not only Bhojpuri people, North Indians adore this dish and make this at home.
