    • Carom Seeds or ajwain - 1/2 tea spoon
    • Salt as per taste
    • Mustard oil or Sarson Ka Tel - 2 table spoon
    • Water - 2 table spoon, only if required to moisten the Sattu stuffing mixture for making Traditional Sattu-Litti
  • Whole Wheat Flour - 250 grams
  • Water - for making the dough
  • Desi ghee - as per requirement for serving with Sattu-Litti

Procedure for making Traditional Sattu-Litti:

  1. Take whole wheat flour in a deep vessel and slowly add water to it, to knead it into a medium hard dough. The dough prepared for making Traditional Sattu-Litti should neither be very hard nor very soft. Prepare the dough for making Traditional Sattu-Litti and keep it aside to rest while you prepare the sattu stuffing mixture for Traditional Sattu-Litti.
  2. Now take one big late or bowl and add sattu to it.
  3. Add finely chopped onion, ginger, garlic, green chilli and coriander leaves to it.
  4. Then add carom seeds and onion seeds to it, and mix the dry ingredients well.
  5. Now add 2 table spoon mustard oil and salt to this sattu stuffing mixture and mix all ingredients well.
  6. Crumble the sattu stuffing mixture nicely and check if it begins to bind. If the mixture appears dry then add 2 table spoon water to this sattu stuffing mixture and crumble again. Remember that this sattu stuffing mixture for making Traditional Sattu-Litti should neither be very dry nor very moist in texture.
  7. Now take the whole wheat dough prepared for making Traditional Sattu-Litti and knead it again to smoothen it out.
  8. Then prepare small and equal sized balls of the dough for making Traditional Sattu-Litti.
  9. Now take one ball, smoothen it and then make a depression at its centre and give a shape of a bowl to this wheat ball.
  10. Then place some sattu stuffing mixture into the whole wheat bowl and then bring the sides together and bind them together. Roll lightly and smoothen again to form a sattu stuffed whole wheat ball.
  11. Now press this stuffed wheat ball slightly to flatten it. Prepare all the littis in the same way and keep them aside in a plate dusted with wheat flour, to be roasted together.
  12. Then heat a tawa and lower the flame when the tawa is completely heated for roasting the littis.
  13. Now place the littis over this hot tawa. Allow them to cook on one side and then flip all of them to cook on the other side.
  14. When all littis are cooked nicely and have golden red spots on both the sides, then remove all of them to a plate. Remove the tawa from the stove.
  15. Then take one half-cooked litti and place it over the flame directly. Roll and cook it uniformly along the sides with the help of tongs. Cook the remaining half-cooked or partially cooked littis in the same way. (as shown in the images below) (Remember that flame is at its lowest level while cooking the littis.)
  16. Transfer the littis to a plate and pour some fresh desi ghee over them. Then serve them hot with Baingan ka Bharta or chokha.

(Note: Cook the littis over low flame only. Otherwise they will remain raw from inside.)

सत्तु-लिट्टी बनाने की प्रक्रिया:

  1. एक गहरे बर्तन में गेहूं के आटे डालें और इसमें धीरे-धीरे पानी डालकर एक मध्यम सख्त आटा गूंध कर तैयार करें। फ्राइड सत्तु की लिट्टी बनाने के लिए तैयार आटा न तो बहुत सख्त होना चाहिए और न ही बहुत नरम होना चाहिए। सत्तु-लिट्टी बनाने के लिए आटा गूंध कर तैयार करें और फिर इसे ढक कर अलग रख दें।
  2. अब एक बड़ी थाली  या कटोरा लें और इसमें सत्तु जोड़ें।
  3. फिर इसमें बारीक कटा हुआ प्याज, अदरक, लहसुन, हरी मिर्च और धनिया को डालें।
  4. उसके बाद इसमें अजवैन और मंगरैल या कलौंजी डालें, और सूखी सामग्री को अच्छी तरह मिलाएं।
  5. अब 2 बड़ा चम्मच सरसों का तेल और नमक को डालकर, सारी सामग्री को अच्छी तरह मिलाएं।
  6. सत्तु के मिश्रण को मुट्ठी मे दबकर देंखें की ये मिश्रण बंधना शुरू हुआ है या नहीं। यदि मिश्रण सूखा लगे तो इसमें 2 बड़ा चम्मच पानी डालकर अच्छे से मिलाएं। याद रखें कि सत्तु-लिट्टी बनाने के लिए यह सत्तु का भरावन न तो बहुत सूखा हो और न ही बहुत गीला हो।
  7. अब सत्तु-लिट्टी बनाने के लिए गूंधा हुआ आटा लें और इसे एक बार गूंध कर चिकना कर लें।
  8. फिर सत्तु-लिट्टी बनाने के लिए आटे की छोटी-छोटी और बराबर आकार की लोई तैयार करें।
  9. अब एक लोई लें, इसे एक गेंद की तरह चिकना करें और फिर एक कटोरी का आकार दें।
  10. फिर इसके अन्दर थोड़ा सत्तू का भरावन दबा-दबाकर भरें और फिर किनारों को एक साथ लाकर चिपका दें।
  11. हल्के हाथ से इस स्टफ्ड लिट्टी को थोड़ा सा चिपटा दें और फिर सभी लिट्टियों को उसी तरह तैयार करें और एक साथ सेंकने के लिए एक  प्लेट में उन्हें अलग रखें।
  12. फिर एक तावा गरम करें और जब तावा पूरी तरह से गरम तब आंच को कम कर दें।
  13. अब इस गर्म तावा पर लिट्टी रखें। उन्हें एक तरफ पकने दें और फिर उन सभी को दूसरी तरफ पकने के लिए पलट दें।
  14. जब सारी लिट्टी अच्छी तरह से पक जाएं और दोनों तरफ सुनहरे लाल धब्बे आजाएं, तो उन सभी को एक प्लेट में निकाल दें। तावा को स्टोव से हटा दें।
  15. फिर एक आधी पकी हुई लिट्टी लें और इसे गैस पर चिमटे की सहायता से घुमा-घुमाकर पकाएं। शेष आधी पकी हुई या आंशिक रूप से पकी हुई लिट्टी को इसी तरह से अच्छे से सेक लें। (जैसा कि नीचे दी गई छवियों में दिखाया गया है) (याद रखें कि लिट्टी को पकाते समय आंच एकदम कम हो।)
  16. लिट्टी को एक प्लेट में निकाल लें और उन पर थोड़ा ताजा देसी घी डालें। फिर उन्हें बैंगन के भर्ते या चोखा के साथ गरम-गरम परोसें।

(नोट: लिट्टी को पकाते समय आंच एकदम कम हो। नहीं तो वे अंदर से कच्ची रह जाएंगी।)
