Ingredients

• 1 cup besan (gram flour)

• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 1 small tomato finely chopped
• 1 green chili finely chopped
• ¼ cup grated carrot (optional)
• ¼ cup chopped spinach or coriander leaves

• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• ½ teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• Oil or ghee for frying

Step By Step Guide

Prepare The Batter

Combine the besan with water while mixing in a bowl while constantly stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Then mix all veggies including onions, tomatoes, green chili, grated carrots and spinach/coriander together with cumin, turmeric alongside red chili powder and garam masala and salt.
Mix all ingredients until they become uniform.

Cook The Chilla

Use a non-stick tawa on medium heat to grease with a small amount of oil or ghee.
Put a small batch of batter on the hot pan while using a spatula to make an even circular shape.
Scorch the pancake on both sides for 2-3 minutes and becomes golden brown.

Serve & Enjoy!

Serve the hot Besan Chilla with green chutney or yoghurt as an accompaniment.
Optionally, garnish with a few fresh coriander leaves or a sprinkle of chaat masala for extra flavour.
