Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine besan, yogurt, and water. Mix well to form a smooth batter. The batter should be pourable; adjust the water as needed.
- 2
Add the chopped vegetables, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, baking powder, red chili powder, and salt to the batter. Mix until everything is well combined.
- 3
Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. This will help the baking powder activate and improve fluffiness.
- 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.
- 5
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a round shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
- 6
Flip the cheela and cook the other side for another 3 minutes until it is fluffy and golden brown.
- 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
