Chilla/Indian pancake recipe: With demand I have a vegetarian recipe that I came across a month ago, one of the dietician suggested this recipe as a morning breakfast. It looks vague, but when eaten, you have spices exploding in your mouth. It's simple, preparation can be done a night ahead. Serve hot with your fav beverage in morning or evening snack time. Mix 1cup of gram flour + 2 chopped Chillies + 1 chopped onion +1 tbsp of cilantro + 1tsp of red chilli powder + 1tsp of tumeric powder + 1tsp of cumin seeds +half chopped Tomatoe +salt to taste (slide 2). Mix all teh ingredients, by adding water slowly in the mixture (consistency is shown in slide 3) Heat the frying pan to medium low heat, add in 1tbsp of oil and add in a laddle of batter on the pan, spread the batter by using the back of the laddle. It should be flat like a pancake(slide 4). Cover it with lid, once it bubbles on the top, flip it to the other side. Roast it again by adding oil if required. Cook it until done and have brown spots on the chilla. Make sure to keep the temperature intact, so that the chilla don't burn or remain uncooked (slide 5). Serve hot with chutney or tomato sauce.
