Recipe: Smoky Tomato Chokha
Rustic, bright, and full of fire-roasted flavour, this simple Bihari-style chokha turns everyday tomatoes into a smoky, tangy, comforting side that lifts everything, from litti to dal-chawal.

Tomato chokha is the kind of dish that asks for very little and gives back a lot. It’s warm, earthy, and deeply nostalgic, the kind of flavour you get only when tomatoes meet open flame. With chopped onions, green chillies, and a drizzle of mustard oil, it becomes a bowl of bold simplicity, no fuss, just honest taste.
What makes this chokha so useful is its versatility. Spoon it over litti, serve it with hot parathas, mix it into rice, or pair it with grilled veggies. It works as a quick side, a meal extender, or a bright, smoky dip that takes almost no time at all.
