DIRECTIONS
- In a bowl, add Sattu, rice flour, semolina (Sooji), and curd.
- Mix it well and start adding water gradually for a smooth consistency. I added approximately 1.5 cups of water.
- Let it rest for about 20-30 minutes so that the ingredients get infused well.
- Now add chopped vegetables of your choice, I added chopped onions and fresh coriander leaves.
- Add spices including salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder as required.
- Now on a simmered pan, pour a ladle of chilla batter, and with the help of olive oil, cook it well and even on both sides.
