Besan Ka Chilla ( Chickpea Flour Pancake)

Besan ka chilla are pancakes made from chick pea flour or gram flour. One of my favourite breakfast/snack and it's healthy too. It can be made with or without stuffing.Below is the recipe of chillas without filling but you can use potatoes, paneer or sprouts as filling.


Ingredient :

Besan (Gram flour)-1 cup
Chopped Onion – 1 no.
Chopped Green Chilli – 1 no.
Chopped Green Capsicum - 1 no.
Pepper Powder - 1 tsp.

Salt to taste

Method :

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and make a smooth batter with water for chilla/pancake. There should be no lump in the batter.
Heat a non stick tava and grease it with few drops of oil. Now Pour a ladleful of the batter on the tava and spread it in a round shape. Pour more drops of oil around the chilla. Cook  on medium flame. After 2-3 min or when one side gets cooked turn the other side and cook it for 2-3 min. or till the color becomes brown.
Serve it with tomato sauce or coriander chutney.
