Apart from rolling, the dough can also be pressed into a peda-like shape and can be given the shape of a cup or bowl by pressing lightly with the finger and thumb. Then fill the prepared sattu mixture in it and press the mixture inside a little.
After this, close it like a kachori from all sides and give it a round shape with light hands. Note that during this time there should not be any crack on the dough. If this happens, the sattu may spread in the oil while frying. Now make all the littis like this. After this apply ghee in a pan. When hot, put the filled litti in it and cover and cook till it turns brown from both the sides. Keep turning the litti in between so that it gets cooked from all the sides.
After the litti is cooked, apply ghee on the litti and serve and eat it with the prepared chokha.
