Indian round roti, known as baati chokha, are a popular street food to eat in Varanasi and other parts of North India.
What exactly is a baati chokha? Well to be honest with you, when I stopped by this street food vendor I had absolutely no idea what they were - and that's exactly the reason why I felt compelled to stop and try some. Though the vendor's mouth was packed full of paan mouth chew, I could make out him telling me that they were round rotis. So imagine a roti, which is similar to a tortilla, or just a blob of dough, rounded up into a small ball about the size of a golf ball and grilled. Within the ball were a mix of spices called garam masala. And if that doesn't already sound tasty enough, it was served with an outstanding green chili sauce, a slice of green chili, and a wedge of red onion.
To eat a baati chokha (round roti), you simply tell the vendor how many of the little guys you want and he will place them right off the grill onto your plate. From there he added a scoop of unknown sauce which happened to be delicious, and the extra few condiments. I was actually surprised at just how good these little roti balls were - partly it was the garam masala sauce and partly it was the delicious sauce. Anyway, I really enjoyed these baati chokha's so much that I ended up eating a few of them, amazed at the flavors from such a simple filling treat.
This little Indian street food vendor in Varanasi is located right along the main burning ghat funeral lane. Though I didn't know at first, as soon as I ordered and started to eat, a funeral procession came marching down the lane as I ate. It was quite an exciting and unique street food snack to be eating while funerals marched past every few minutes.
If you visit North India, you should by all means try to sample some round roti baati chokha. They are filling and delicious, and I think they make a fabulous snack or even would be a wonderful breakfast.

Teray maa ne dala that garam masala powder inside
my Telugu Christian channel (kfgm India) from pastor vijaysagar from vizag Andhra Pradesh.
It's called … Litti chokha in Bihar from india
That seller made this video very interesting
Stupid actor kept playing with the littis ,too much overacting
You should have tried with butter/ ghee…
Mark u were so cute… n u r still so cute…. Love u… n love ur videos…
What a stranger way to sale food. Yet delicious
I guess litti chokha is complicate that's why he is saying making things simple 😂😂
Chokha hai- fire cooked eggplant, Tomato, chilly, and onion and coriander leaves and onion seeds and mustard oil and salt and pepper and bit of garam masala.
Litti has- gram flour mixture with onions and ginger garlic pickle oil lemon juice coriander leaves onion seeds.and some other things 😂😂
Liti chokha👍
He spits some of his mouth freshness on the bati
This guy reminds me of, if post moline had a brother who was an Indian DJ…
g00d food💯👍😋
I swear this guy was a cat in his last life lol
Sorry to say but one has to be so careful about eating food from vendors. We have lost friends from FOOD POISONING. These vendors never wear gloves or even try to keep their hands off the food. I guess it would be to much to ask them to cover their hair. I know l can forfeit eating out at midnight in any city in India. CANT TAKE CHANCES ANYMORE. HSVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL.
If you've not visited lucknow then you've missed everything
Ha ha ha
It's litti, Bihari cuisine
