Today is the fifth day of the week long Blogging Marathon#11. I prepared the famous side dish of Bihar today. It is very simple to prepare and very delicious. Biharis use it as an accompaniment with litti or roti. There are so many methods of preparing choka. While I searched the net, I really got confused seeing so many preparations. Then I selected a basic recipe and tried it and it came out nice.
