Cucumber flavoured, yummy chilas are perfect for breakfast. We can have with Dalbhaji or chutneys, especially kids will love to have them with chapatis or as is. My kids love to take them for school tiffin, when they are bored with regular vegetables once in a while.
Make it spicy and we can enjoy cucumber chilas with rice or chapatis to replace sabji. They come out really soft and tasty and are very healthy for all.

Steps

5 minutes

1

Grate cucumber and squeeze out some water from it. We can use this water for preparing batter. Crush garlic. Add cucumber shreds, crushed garlic in a mixing bowl.
2

Add all other ingredients and mix. Add water and make a semi thick batter.
3

Heat a tawa and spread little oil. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter and spread evenly.
4

Sprinkle a small teaspoon oil around the chillas and let it cook on low flame.
5

Once it starts to cook you can flip the chila and cook it from other side too using a spatula.
6

Sprinkle some oil only if required. Let it cook well on low flame.
7

It looks done. Now you can remove and make other chillas in same manner.

I have made these without adding green chillies as my small 1 year old niece is going to have it. You can make it more spicy and add more vegetables if you like.

Tasty and healthy morning breakfast is ready to be relished.
