Instructions: How to Make Vegetable Chilla (Besan)

• Prepare the vegetables

  Grate the carrot, finely chop the cucumber, onion, green chili, and coriander leaves.

• Make the batter

  In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup besan, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon ajwain. Add 1/2 cup water gradually and whisk to form a smooth batter (the consistency should be similar to pancake batter).

• Add vegetables and seasonings

  Add the grated carrot, chopped cucumber, onion, green chili, coriander leaves, and grated ginger into the batter. Add salt to taste and mix well.

• Cook the chilla

  Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Brush it lightly with oil. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it out into a circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.

• Flip and cook the other side

  Flip the chilla carefully and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.

• Serve

  Remove the chilla from the pan and serve hot with green chutney or yogurt.
