Instructions
Making Cheela Batter
- Take a bowl, add Gram Flour Besan, Asafoetida, Cumin Seeds, Red Chili Powder, Garam Masala and Salt. Mix well.
- Add chopped Vegetables like Green chilies, Onion, Tomato, Cottage Cheese and Coriander Leaves.
- Mix them well as we want the vegetable moisture to be absorbed by the besan before we add water to it.
- Now, add Oil and water gradually to make a lump free and smooth batter. Once batter is ready, keep it aside for later use.
Shallow fry Cheela
- Take a flat surface pan about 2 inch in depth. The pan has to be mild hot to have a crispy Cheela.
- Add 1/2 tsp of Oil in this pan and switch ON the stove at high flame.
- After a minute, turn the stove to medium flame.
- This batter is good for making 4 Cheela. So, use a spoon to pick sufficient amount for 1 Cheela and pour the batter in pan. Turn the stove to high flame.
- Use the spoon to spread the batter evenly in a circular shape. Let it cook for at-least 2 minute or until it is slightly cooked from the bottom.
- When you witness the small little holes coming up on the surface of the Cheela, it signals the readiness of Cheela from the bottom.
- Pour 1/2 tsp Oil on the circumference to help Cheela come Off the pan easily.
- Now, scrape the circumference of the cheela and flip it turn it over very carefully without breaking and cook until it gets golden brown from both the sides.
- Once done, take it out in a plate and make rest of the cheelas in similar fashion.
