You can take a Bihari out of Bihar, but you cannot take the bihari taste buds out of them. Most of us would be agree about this.
Litti Chokha is the most famous dishes of Bihar. Here I am sharing a recipe that uses the same ingredients, but is much easier to make. Yes, you guessed it. It's Sattu ka Paratha.
The winter menu of my mother's kitchen was always filled with different types of stuffed parathas. Among the crowd were alu, muli, gobhi, mattar- and the tastiest one- Sattu Paratha. It was nutritious, filling and had great shelf life.
We loved it with baigan ka chokha and dhaniya ki chutney. It was the meal most of us Biharis can relate to. While making this, I often travel into my childhood where memories keep me busy for a while, and often I come out of it with a smile or two.
Sattu ka Paratha, Baigan-tamatar ka chokha, and Hari Dhaniya ki chutney for lunch.
