A quick, tasty breakfast much loved at home – Chillas

Chillas are one of our favourite quick breakfasts at home. They are simple to prepare, wholesome and very satisfying. They can be made using different flours like nachni (ragi), jowar, wheat flour, gram flour or even green moong dal flour.

At home we often enjoy them just as they are, but my younger son especially loves them with a little ketchup on the side.

Pour a ladle of the batter onto the pan and spread it evenly.
Cook on a medium flame.

When almost done, brush a little oil or ghee on top and flip to cook the other side until lightly crisp and cooked through.
5

Serve hot with chutney, ketchup, or simply enjoy them as they are.
