Hi friends,
This was my original post (Chilla) 5 months ago on 20/08/09. Those days all I used to do was to post the recipes and leave it like that. As Jaya rightly said, the initial posts are very close to the heart and you really feel sad if you do not receive the desired response. During that time I had no blogging friends. My new year resolution was not only to post more recipes but also to learn from my fellow bloggers, the art of creative posting and making more of this interactive medium. So here I'm reposting Semolina Cheela and eager to see all my new friend's comments and reactions. Sending this to Jaya for her event "The repost event and another set of rules"
Semolina cheela is very easy to make. You can make it in a very short time and the best part is that, it can be made with very little oil. It is one of the best breakfast items. I'm reposting this particular preparation with few changes. On seeing my son liking cheela very much, my mother suggested that I add finely chopped vegetables to make it more nutritious. By following her advice I did the same and to my astonishment my son enjoyed the new version of cheela.

Serves: 4, Preparation time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups fine Sooji (semolina)
1.5 cup fresh Curd
1 cup Maida
1 Onion (finely chopped)
1 Carrot (grated)
50 gms Paneer (cottage cheese)
1 green chilly finely chopped
7 Curry leaves (curry patta) finely chopped
1 tbsp chopped Coriander leaves
Refined oil
Salt, Black pepper and Red chilli powder as per taste
Method:
In a bowl mix semolina, maida and curd to make a batter and let it sit for 20 minutes. I have grated all the vegetables here to make it more children friendly. If required add water because by now the mixture would have thickened. The consistency should be such it is spreadable.Heat a non stick pan, sprinkle water and let the steam evaporate. Once the pan is hot add a dash of butter to the pan. Now spread the batter in an evenly round shape in the pan. Don't flip untill the bottom is dry and cooked. Now spread a spoon of oil on the outer circle of the batter so that the oil seeps in to the lower side of the pancake. Now flip the pancake and cook for another few minutes. Serve the pancake with tomato ketchup or chutney.
