Palak Paneer

"Litti Chokha is a traditional and iconic dish from the Indian state of Bihar, also popular in Jharkhand and Eastern Uttar Pradesh. It is a rustic, earthy, and deeply satisfying meal that combines roasted wheat flour balls (litti) stuffed with spiced sattu (roasted gram flour), and chokha—a mashed, smoky vegetable preparation. Litti is made from whole wheat dough filled with a mixture of sattu, mustard oil, garlic, green chilies, lemon juice, carom seeds, and salt. The balls are traditionally roasted over charcoal or cow dung fire, giving them a smoky aroma, and then brushed with ghee for richness. Chokha is usually a blend of roasted or boiled vegetables such as eggplant (baingan), potatoes (aloo), and tomatoes, mashed with mustard oil, green chilies, garlic, and fresh coriander, giving it a spicy and tangy flavor. Litti Chokha is served hot with a generous drizzle of desi ghee and often accompanied by pickles or raw onions. Hearty, nutritious, and full of bold flavors, it is both a cultural symbol and a culinary delight from Eastern India."

"Chapati, also known as roti, is a traditional Indian flatbread made from whole wheat flour (atta), water, and a pinch of salt. It is soft, round, and unleavened, typically cooked on a hot griddle (tava) until it puffs up with steam, creating light, airy layers. A staple in Indian households, chapati is light, nutritious, and versatile—served with everything from lentils (dal) and vegetable sabzis to rich meat or paneer curries. It’s usually brushed with ghee or butter for added flavor and richness, though it can also be served plain. Chapatis are valued for their simplicity and healthfulness, often forming the foundation of everyday meals across India. Soft and warm, they’re perfect for scooping up curry or wrapping around fillings for a quick, wholesome bite."
