Chokha, on the other hand, is a mashed relish made of vegetables like brinjal (aubergine/eggplant), potato, tomato, etc. . The vegetables are roasted or boiled, then skinned off (if needed) and mashed with spices. The dish is often eaten with curd, brinjal chokha, potato chokha, and papad). Herbs and spices used to flavor the litti include onion, garlic, ginger, coriander leaves, lime juice, carom seeds, nigella seeds, and salt). Tasty pickles can also be used to add spice flavor). Litti Chokha is traditionally baked over a wood fire, but in modern times, a new fried version has been developed).
