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."

"Plain Paratha is a classic Indian layered flatbread made from whole wheat flour, known for its crispy, flaky texture and rich, buttery flavor. Unlike stuffed parathas, this version is made by rolling out dough, spreading it with ghee or oil, folding it into layers, and then pan-cooking until golden brown and slightly crisp. Soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, Plain Paratha is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a wide variety of dishes—such as curries, dals, pickles, yogurt, or even just a dollop of butter. It can also be enjoyed as a wrap or rolled up with a simple filling for a quick meal. Whether served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Plain Paratha is a comforting and satisfying part of traditional Indian cuisine, loved for its simplicity and taste.
