About Cheela

Cheela is a savory pancake originating from Indian cuisine, often enjoyed as a nutritious breakfast or snack. Made primarily from gram flour (besan) mixed with water, spices, and herbs, it can be customized with added vegetables like onions, tomatoes, and spinach for enhanced flavor and nutrition. This dish is naturally gluten-free and rich in protein, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians. Cheela is typically cooked with minimal oil on a skillet, which keeps its calorie count moderate. High in fiber, thanks to gram flour and veggies, it supports digestion and helps maintain energy levels. While cheela itself is healthy, portions of oil or any added chutneys may contribute extra calories. Easy to prepare and packed with nutrients, cheela serves as a quick, wholesome option with a delicious blend of Indian spices.
