Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, is a big fan of Litti Chokha, a traditional Bihari dish made of wheat flour balls stuffed with spiced gram flour and served with mashed vegetables. This dish is a staple in Bihari households and is often enjoyed on special occasions. Just hearing the name Litti Chokha can make one's mouth water.
Litti Chokha is renowned across the country for its delightful taste and rustic charm. The Litti is crafted from wheat flour, filled with sattu, mustard oil, and spices, and is roasted over a low flame using coal or cow dung cakes, which enhances its smoky flavor.
Chokha, on the other hand, is prepared by mashing boiled potatoes, roasted brinjals, and tomatoes with spices. The combination of Litti and Chokha creates an extraordinary culinary experience. From the streets of Bihar to upscale hotels, the allure of Litti Chokha is widespread.

According to the dhaba owner, Aamir Khan had visited the establishment previously in 2012, and his patronage significantly boosted the shop's popularity. The owner noted, "People come here especially to ask which Litti Aamir Khan ate."

Following Aamir Khan's endorsement, the popularity of Litti Chokha soared beyond Bihar. Many vendors began attracting customers by displaying his pictures at their stalls. Aamir's influence not only brought this dish into the spotlight but also inspired numerous food enthusiasts to visit Bihar and experience it for themselves.
