Instructions
How To Make Besan Chillas:
1. Start by chopping all the vegetables and setting them aside. 1/2 cup shredded bell pepper, 1 chopped medium onion, 1-2 chopped green chilies, and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro.
2. In a large bowl, add 2 cups besan, 3 Tbsp sooji, 1/2 tsp ajwain seeds, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/2 tsp baking soda along with all the chopped vegetables.
3. Mix everything together until evenly coated.
4. Next, slowly add 2/3 cups water until the mixture starts to form a thick batter. Be sure to add the water slowly so as to not make the batter too thin either.
5. Once mixed, let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
6. In a large pan, add a teaspoon of ghee or oil and let it heat up.
7. Add a ladle full of batter to the pan and let the chilla cook on one side. Once the chilla begins to dry on the surface, it is ready to flip!
8. Flip the chilla and cook again on the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and serve with your favorite achaar or chutney.
Enjoy!
