Notes

  • Always soak and rest the batter for sometime. That will help in making smooth chilla.
  • You can make this cheela with numerous variations. For example, adding other vegetables of your choice like green beans, spinach, capsicum etc. Or you can add cheese to make simple cheese chilla. Likewise tofu can be a great addition.
  • The batter should be of same consistency as of normal dosa batter.
  • Use a non-stick pan for the ease of removing the cheela from pan and retaining the shape of cheela
