Method of mixing dough
To mix a litty dough, you need to mix all the ingredients and mix in a medium soft dough. If the texture of the dough is too soft and stiff, the litty is not good.

In such a situation, you can mix this dough without it. Now make this spice and fill it with doe balls.
How To Cook Litty In Cooker-
To make the litter in the cooker, first coat the bottom of the cooker with oil. You can also use ghee and only for ghee. Do not add too much oil or ghee. Now if you have a strainer or cooker stand, then grease it and place it inside the cooker, otherwise, you can put the litter directly on the bottom of the cooker. Now remove the cooker lid whistle.
You should keep the flame low-medium. If this is exceeded, the top surface of the batter is cooked, but the inner surface is not cooked. Leave to cook for 15 minutes on low flame, then open the lid and turn the litter.
You rotate it every 10 minutes. It takes 30-35 minutes to cook and imagine that the litter is cooked after the cracks start to come. You can try to open it to test it once. If it does not cook completely, cook it again in the cooker for 10 minutes. Now take them out and put hot on them and eat hot.
