#healthyjunior - The combination of oats and poha is just perfect for breakfast that can be relished with any side dish, chutney, raita or pickles. I gave a slight twist to the usual cheelas by adding some tadka (tempering) to the batter to give a different flavour.

These cheelas are a great substitute to any kind of flat Indian bread. You can go ahead and add any sort of finely chopped greens or veggies of your choice to make them more healthy and nutritious. They can be relished for lunch, dinner or as a lunch box meal too.
