​Millet Cheela Recipe​



Ingredients

1/4 cup wheat flour
1 teaspoon thymol seeds
1/4 cup black millet flour
1/4 cup gram flour
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon powdered red chilli
1/4 cup water
1 grated onion
Salt to taste
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to cook

7/7

​​Method​



Equal parts of each flour—wheat, gram, and black millet—should be combined in a bowl. The onion should be grated and set aside. Mix thoroughly in a bowl the salt, sliced onion, thymol seeds, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and red chilli powder. To get a thick batter-like consistency, keep adding water.
To make the batter, thoroughly combine all the ingredients. Make sure the batter is thick in consistency. The batter should be covered with a lid and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes after it has been made.
Pour 3 tablespoons of the batter into a medium-hot pan after spreading 1 teaspoon of oil on the surface. Till a thin layer is produced, spread the batter in a circular motion.
Now add some oil to the pancake and flip it over. Make sure the chilla doesn't burn by cooking it from all sides.
Once it is crispy and appears brown in colour, remove it from the pan. For extra chillas, use this technique. With tomato ketchup or mint-coriander chutney, serve this chilla hot.
