These subtly-flavoured chillas are really trendy because they are easy-to-prepare, tasty and stomach-friendly too, which is a key concern for many people!

These Nutritious Chillas are made with ragi, jowar and whole wheat flour, perked up with just a mild dash of green chilli paste. A good amount of veggies are added to keep the chillas soft and to lend a lovely crunch to them.

You can have these tasteful chillas anytime, for breakfast or as a snack, so you can ward off hunger and associated acidity bouts too.

Ingredients

For Nutritious Chilla
1/4 cup jowar (white millet) flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1/4 cup ragi (nachni / red millet) flour
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)
1/4 tsp green chilli paste
salt to taste
1 1/4 tsp oil for greasing and cooking

For Serving
minty green chutney

Method

To make nutritious chilla, combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl along with approx. 1 cup of water to make a thin batter.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it with ¼ tsp of oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter on tava (griddle) and spread it evenly to make a 125 mm. (5”) diameter thin circle and cook on a medium flame using ¼ tsp of oil till both the sides are golden brown in colour.
Repeat with the remaining batter to make 3 more chillas.
Serve immediately with minty green chutney.
