Ingredients   (Serves – 2)

  • Besan – 1 cup                                                         
  • Water – 3/4 cup                                                                    
  • Turmeric powder – ¼  tsp
  • Red chili powder – ¼  tsp
  • Coriander Powder – ¼ tsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – for cooking

 

Method

  • In a bowl, mix besan and water to make a smooth, lump-free batter of medium pouring consistency. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder and salt. Mix well and rest the batter for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a non-stick pan or tawa on medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Pour a ladle of batter and spread gently into a round chila. Drizzle a little oil around the edges.
  • Cook until the bottom becomes golden and crisp, then flip and cook the other side until done. Remove and repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot.

(note: for sweet version omit all the spices and salt and mix powdered jaggery/powdered sugar very well)
