  • I use “DiSano Olive Oil.”

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a bowl, add Sattu, rice flour, semolina (Sooji), and curd.
  2. Mix it well and start adding water gradually for a smooth consistency. I added approximately 1.5 cups of water.
  3. Let it rest for about 20-30 minutes so that the ingredients get infused well.
  4. Now add chopped vegetables of your choice, I added chopped onions and fresh coriander leaves.
  5. Add spices including salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder as required.
  6. Now on a simmered pan, pour a ladle of chilla batter, and with the help of olive oil, cook it well and even on both sides.

Note:

  1. Don’t forget to keep it aside for setting down (as sooji and sattu takes time to infuse and soak water) for soft and crispy chilla.
  2. Don’t forget to cook it on simmered flame for even and proper cooking of the chilla.
