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)
