Veg Biryani

"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."

"Poori is a deep-fried Indian bread known for its light, puffy, and golden-brown appearance. Made from a simple dough of whole wheat flour (atta), water, and a pinch of salt, the dough is rolled into small discs and deep-fried until they puff up beautifully. Unlike chapati or paratha, poori has a slightly crisp exterior with a soft, hollow interior, making it both fun to eat and perfect for soaking up flavorful curries. It is typically served with dishes like aloo sabzi (potato curry), chana masala (spiced chickpeas), or halwa during festive or special breakfasts. Plain poori is loved for its comforting texture and indulgent taste. It’s a popular choice for celebratory meals, traditional thalis, and weekend brunches across India."
