ALL THAT YOU NEED TO PREPARE THIS RECIPE
- 1/4th cup gram flour (besan)
- 2 tsp, whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp, oats grounded or flour
- A pinch, Ajwain
- Turmeric as required
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp, finely chopped onion
- 2 tsp, finely chopped green capsicum
- 3 tsp, grated paneer
- 2 tsp, grated carrot
- Oil as required
HOW TO PREPARE?
- Heat a sauté pan and add little oil to it.
- Add chopped vegetables and sauté for some time.
- Now add salt to taste and mix well. Remove the pan from the flame and let the vegetables cool.
- Once at room temperature, add grated paneer to the mixture and mix well.
- Mix wheat flour, gram flour, and oats flour in a bowl. Add turmeric powder, Ajwain and salt in the bowl and mix well. Keep adding water to form a thick batter-like consistency.
- Mix all the ingredients well to prepare a batter. There should not be lumps in the batter.
- Make sure the consistency of the batter is thick. Once the batter is formed, cover with a lid and keep it aside for about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a pan on medium flame, smear 1 teaspoon oil and pour 2 tablespoons of the batter. Spread the batter in a circular motion till a thin layer is formed.
- Now pour some oil on this pancake and turn it to another side. Cook the cheela from both sides, ensuring that it doesn’t burn.
- Once cooked, put a spoonful of filling on it and flip one side onto the other to close it.
- Remove it from the pan once it is crispy and appears brown in colour. Follow this method for making more cheelas.
- Serve cheela hot with mint coriander chutney or tomato chutney.
TIPS
- You can add grated cheese in the filling if your child is fond of them.
