Litti Chokha
Litti-Chokha is a special delicacy from Bihar that is famous everywhere across India. The flavours represent the earthiness of Bihar and you can find it at street stalls and even in fine-dine restaurants. 
"Litti is a dough ball stuffed with sattu (made with gram powder) and roasted until cooked and then dipped into pure desi ghee to enhance the taste, while Chokha is a blend of baingan (brinjal),potatoes, tomatoes and a lot of spices. Chokha is not cooked like a regular sabzi rather it is a roasted vegetable mix. Some people like roasting Litti Chokha with mustard oil to get that pungent flavour."

Famous for its rustic taste, Litti Chokha is a Bihari delicacy where the Litti is made of whole wheat flour, stuffed with sattu (powder made out of black chana), herbs and spices and baked over coal or cow dung cakes and then finally drizzled with desi ghee. Dry versions of Litti are also available. Chokha is a mix of grilled brinjal with chilies, onion tomato, cumin powder, coriander and turmeric powder. The best part about Litti Chokha is that it is healthy in a way that both the dishes are roasted and grilled. There is no frying involved in it, off course, minus the desi ghee. It can be also be deep fried or simply roasted...it simply add taste of desi khana....one should try this tasty north Indian famous dish..

MEATBALLS😋😋😋😋😋😋 HYDERABADI - SWISS MIX.. Style.... When I get a craving for meatballs, I have a very specific meatball in mind: They’re completely tender all the way through without even a hint of toughness. They’re big enough to require a fork, but modest enough to justify several on the plate. Maybe some onions and fresh herbs mixed in. Nothing fancy. Totally old-school.
