10. Keep the sattu masala aside
11. Now take 2.5 cups of wheat flour in big bowl
12. Add remaining quantity of ajwain and black jeera, ghee, hing and salt
13. And crumble well
14. Now add water in batch and knead in semi soft dough

17. Add sattu masala in the dough bowl
18. and press and seal the stuffed dough bowl
19. Remove extra dough from top after sealing the stuffed dough bowl
20. Similarly prepare all Litties
21. Now we have two ways to roast these Litti -
22. 1st way of roasting
1. Put 2-3 burner frames around the burner
2. Place roti frame on top of burner frame
3. Now arrange few Littis on top of frame
4. Turn ON the burner on sim
5. Roast Littis from all sides and this will take around 12-15 mins
6. Once ready and transfer in bowl and dip in ghee
   
   
23. 2nd way - Roasting in air fryer 
1. Preheat air fryer at 180°C for 4 mins
2. Arrange Littis in basket with a gap around all Littis
3. Set 180°C for 6 mins and roast 
4. Now again set 200°C for 4 mins (This setting of temperature will prepare Littis with soft from inside and crispy from outside)
5. And roast from all sides
6. If you want more crispy Littis and then set 180°C for 12-15 mins
7. Once done transfer Littis in bowl and dip in ghee

Littis are ready to serve with Chokha, ghee and pickle.

Let’s see some key points in preparation - 

1. Use grated or finely chopped veggies for preparing sattu masala
2. Use wheat flour with bran for good Litti texture
3. Use homemade pickle (optional) for better taste
4. Instead of pickle use lemon juice
5. You can roast on gas stove burner and air-fyer as shown
6. You can roast in coal/dung cake fire, electric tandoor and oven as well
