Baati Chokha (Litti)

People these days turned out to be health conscious. Consequently they prefer high-fiber and low calorie food. Baati Chokha which is commonly known as Litti Chokha will certainly suit the taste of those, looking for a combination of tasty and healthy food. Apart from being tasty, it is rich in fiber and low on calorie.It is one of my favorite recipes cooked by Grand Ma.
