For the chokha, roast the eggplant on the gas flame until charred, similar to making bharta.

In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted eggplant, boiled potatoes, tomato ketchup, green chilies, ginger, and garlic.

Add mustard oil to the mixture for flavor.

Mix well until combined and colorful.

Prepare the sattu mixture by roasting sattu lightly until it changes color and becomes fragrant.

In a bowl, combine the roasted sattu with chopped onion, green chilies, salt, and cooking oil (about 12 spoons).

Mix the sattu mixture thoroughly, pressing it down to combine.

Prepare small balls of dough and flatten them.

Stuff each flattened dough with the sattu mixture and seal properly.

Shape the stuffed dough back into round balls.

Heat a special pan (appam maker) on the gas.

Place the stuffed balls in the heated pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Cook on one side for about 15 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Check for a golden brown color on all sides before removing from heat.

Serve the baked littis hot with the prepared chokha on the side.
