Suji Cheela is just like Beasn ka Cheela, the traditional Indian snack. The only difference is that it is a very light snack, nutritious and easily digestible. Very soft on stomach and does’t make you feel heavy. It resembles the south Indian Rava Dosa and if we make Cheela very thin with a low consistency batter, it will look exactly like that.
So let’s start making this delicious snack :
Ingredients:
Semolina /Suji – 1 cup ( 250 gms) for 5 chillas/Cheela
Curd -1/2 cup
Eno( Regular) - 1 sachet
Rai - ½ spoon
Jeera – ½ spoon
Cooking oil – 1tbs for Tadka
Green Coriander – few leaves
Onion – 1 small ( Finely cut)
Salt & Green Chilli – as per
taste
Ghee for greasing – as per need
Method of preparing Cheela:
Mix it well and keep aside for 15 minutes.
You can add little bit water to soak
semolina fully.
You can also add more finely chopped vegetables likes carrot, capsicum etc
as per your choice.
Now give Rai & Jeera ka tadka (
in 1 tbs oil only).
Add this Tadka to the mixture .
Add water to make it slightly
thinner than semi solid.
Now add regular fruit salt ENO .
Mix it thoroughly.
Now Cook/prepare Chilla immediately on non
stick tawa(grease the tawa before pouring batter). Pour one ladel full of batter on Tawa. Keep the flame to Low while spreading batter
on Tawa . Spread the batter evenly with the help of some spoon or ladel.
Now cook it on medium flame from both sides , slightly greasing edges , properly cooking by slight pressing at top.
Once cooked , serve it with tomato
sauce and chutneys of your choice.
Resting time -15 minutes + 20 minutes to cook for 5
chillas.
1)Keep Tawa hot before adding
Eno to the batter.
2) Cook/Prepare Chilla
immediately after adding Eno in a minute or so.
3) Keep observing color of Chilla while cooking , and change side as soon
as the surface being cooked turns golden brown . Sprinkle some Ghee at the top
surface when it becomes dry. And then change side. Simmer and press gently, so
that ingredients are properly cooked from inside.
4)Do greasing with Desi Ghee
or butter to get good flavor and taste.
