Steps

20 mins

1

Take ½ cup quick cooking oats in a mixer or grinder and grind to a fine powder.
Take the ground oats flour in a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup besan.
Now add everything except for oil and water.
2

Pour about 2/3 to 3/4 cup water.
With a wired whisk begin to mix everything. If the batter looks thick, then add 1 to 3 tbsp more water. I overall added 3/4 cup water. Depending on the quality and texture of besan and oats, addition of water will be more or less.Now add mustard seeds and mix well.
Whisk to a smooth flowing consistency in the batter without any lumps. Break lumps if any while mixing batter.
3

Heat a tawa or a flat pan on a low flame. You can use an iron tawa or a non-stick pan.
If using iron griddle or tawa, then spread a bit of oil on the tawa. Let the pan become medium hot. Then take a ladle full of the batter and pour on the pan.
4

Gently with the back of the ladle, begin to spread the batter. Spread lightly and gently so that the cheela does not break.
On a low to medium flame cook the oats cheela till the top begins to look cooked.
Then drizzle ½ to 1 tsp oil on the chilla at the edges and all around. With a spoon spread the oil all over. Skip oil if you want to prepare oil free oats chillas.
Continue to cook till the base gets light golden. Then flip.
Now cook the other side of oats cheela.

Fold or cur and serve hot or warm with tomato chutney or ketchup.
