Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Besan (gram flour)
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Tomato, finely chopped
- 1 unit Green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by grinding the rolled oats into a fine powder using a blender or food processor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oat powder, besan, and water. Whisk until you have a smooth batter without any lumps.
Add the chopped onion, tomato, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the batter. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with some oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it gently with the back of the ladle to form a thin pancake.
Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges become golden brown.
Carefully flip the chilla and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it's cooked through and has brown spots.
Remove the cooked chilla from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the oats chilla hot with your choice of chutney or yogurt.
