•To make Vidarbha's famous and spicy Bitti, you need wheat flour, semolina, carom seeds, cumin seeds, salt, and oil.
•First, combine wheat flour and semolina in a bowl, add oil, carom seeds, cumin seeds, and salt, then knead into a dough.
•Let the dough rest for 10 minutes so the semolina absorbs moisture, then roll them out into small flatbreads.
•Stack the flatbreads to create layers, form a ball, and steam them in an idli cooker for 15 to 20 minutes.
•Once cooled, cut the steamed mixture into pieces and fry them in oil until reddish-brown to serve with dal or curry.

To make Vidarbha's special Bitti, you will need 2 cups of wheat flour, 1 cup of semolina (rava), carom seeds, cumin seeds, salt, and oil.

You need to steam the dough balls in an idli cooker for 15 to 20 minutes, and then check with a knife to ensure they are fully steamed.
