Yummly
Our Indian food safari of BM#39 is now reached to the state “Bihar ” and the cuisine is called Bihari Cuisine , is eaten mainly in Bihar , Bangladesh , Nepal and Mauritius . Bihari cuisine is mainly vegetarian as influenced by Budhism and Hinduism values.Some of the famous dishes are Litti Chokha , Sattu Paratha , Fish curry, Ghugni , Dhuska etc. the Bihari thali changes as the season changed and people use mustard oil , panch phoran spices for tempering of vegetables.
One of the most interesting thing about this cuisine is “smoked food”. It means using smoked red chilli to infuse a strong aroma in food. It is used in preparing “chokha”, i.e. mashed brinjals , potatoes, or tomatoes . Smoked chilli is also used in preparing kadam  chutney.
I have some sattu flour left from the Litti Chokha I made few months back and I used the same for these Parathas. I served it with plain curd and pickle and my husband loved it. You can seethe original recipe here. So let’s start the recipe . Yum
