Besan chilla is superb source of protein with hardly any noticeable calories. this can be enjoyed as a breakfast or evening snacks.
Serves: 4, Preparation time: 10 minutes, Cooking time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups Besan (chickpea flour)
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Tomato, finely chopped
1 small Carrot, grated
2 Green chillies, chopped
1 tbsp Coriander leaves, chopped
1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
1/4 tsp Black pepper powder
1/2 tsp Garam masala
Salt to taste
Oil
Method:
Take a bowl add chickpea flour / besan, green chillies, garam masala, red chilli powder, pepper powder, salt and add water little by little to make a smooth batter. The batter's consistency should be like dosa and without any lumps. Heat a non-stick pan and spread 1/2 tsp oil on it and then wipe it off with a kitchen towel. This step will ensure that your chilla doesn't stick to the non-stick pan. Now before you start make sure heat is on low, then spread 1tbsp of batter in middle and quickly spread it evenly with the help of laddle. Spreading the batter should be neither too thick nor too thin. Now add chopped onion, tomatoes, coriander leaves and carrot. Press gently so that these ingredients stick to chilla. Now spread 2-3 tsp oil on top and across the sides. Cook for 2 minutes and then with as thin spatula flip it. Serve immediately with chutney or ketchup.
