At Litti Chowk, hot bhattis— dough balls comprising of whole wheat flour, stuffed with gram flour, spices and herbs— are slow-cooked over charcoal. Oodles of ghee is added to the bhattis. It’s paired with litti— a brinjal-based savoury, tangy, flavoursome gravy. The bhattis are used to scoop the litti and then savour it in one mouthful.
