Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Sattu (roasted gram flour)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

  • Salt to taste

  • Water (as needed)

  • Oil for cooking

Directions

  • Blend the sprouts lightly in a mixer to make them thinner.
  • Add Sattu, sprout paste, chopped onions, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin powder and any other spices as you like.
  • Gradually add water to form a smooth, pourable batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or tawa on medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
  • Pour a ladle of batter onto the pan and spread it evenly to form a thin circle.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
  • For a complete and flavorful meal, serve the chilla with green chutney, tomato ketchup, or plain yogurt.

Notes

  • * Adjust the consistency of the batter to make thinner or thicker chillas as per your preference.

    * Add grated vegetables like carrots or spinach for extra nutrition.
