Easy Step-by-Step Instructions for making Besan Cheela at Home.

To prepare besan cheela, start by mixing gram flour with water in a bowl until you achieve a smooth batter. Add spices like salt, turmeric, and cumin, and mix well. Incorporate finely chopped onions, green chilies, and fresh coriander for added flavor. Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes to enhance the texture.

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot surface, spreading it into a round shape. Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown, then flip it over and cook the other side until crisp. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Once cooked, serve the cheelas hot with your choice of chutney or yogurt. Enjoy this delicious and nutritious dish as a fulfilling meal or snack!
