1

To prepare the stuffing, crumb the paneer and keep aside.

4

Add in the salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, and turmeric.
5

Add in the paneer. Mix well and cook until the water dries up. Keep aside.
6

Next prepare the batter for the chilla. In a large bowl, mix together the besan and the rice flour. Add a bit of water to make a smooth paste so that there are no lumps.
7

Add in the ginger garlic paste and the dry masalas. Mix well.
8

Add the onions and the chopped coriander leaves. Check the salt and add more if required.
9

Add the baking powder and mix well. The batter should be of pouring consistency. Not too thick.
