Equipment

  • The Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup besan
  • 1 small onion
  • ¼ cup finely chopped tomatoes
  • ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves
  • ½ to ⅔ teaspoon serrano pepper
  • ½ teaspoon finely chopped ginger
  • ½ teaspoon carom seeds
  • 2 to 3 pinches turmeric powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
  • ½ to ⅔ cup water
  • salt
  • oil

Instructions

  • A skillet or frying pan should be heated at a low to medium heat. Use a non-stick pan or an iron skillet. Spread some oil on an iron skillet or tawa if using one.
  • Allow the pan to reach a medium heat. Next, spoon a ladleful of the batter onto the pan.
  • Spread the batter out gradually using the ladle's back.
  • Spread sparingly and delicately to prevent the cheela from breaking.
  • Cook the chilla until the top starts to look cooked on a low burner.
  • Next, add a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of oil to the chilla's edges and all over.
  • Cook the foundation more until it turns a light golden color.
  • Cook the opposite side after flipping.
  • Cook the besan chilla on this side until golden spots appear.
  • Fold the chilli and serve it hot or warm. It is recommended to eat besan chilla hot. However, if you can't serve them hot, put them in a casserole or roti basket. Later, they can be served while still warm.
