Summer breakfasts are meant to be light on the gut and refreshing in taste. This nutritious chilla combines oats, besan (gram flour), and chaach for a protein-rich, gut-friendly breakfast that is light on the stomach and refreshing when served with fresh mint-coriander chutney and curd on the side. Take a look at the simple recipe.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup besan
- 1 cup chaach
- 1 small onion
- 1 green chili
- 1–2 tbsp coriander leaves
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- Salt to taste
- Water
- Oil for cooking
Step 1
First of all, peel, wash, and chop onion, green chilli, and coriander leaves.
Step 2
Add these veggies to a mixing bowl along with oats and besan. Give them a good mix.
Step 3
Now, add chaach or buttermilk and whisk to form a smooth batter. Adjust consistency with a little water if required.
Step 4
Add the seasonings including cumin seeds, turmeric, and salt. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes so the oats soften.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan or tawa, grease it with some oil or ghee and pour a ladle of batter and spread gently into a thin circle.
Step 6
Cook the chilla on low flame, drizzle a little oil around the edges and then cook on medium heat from both sides.
Step 7
Once done, serve hot with green mint and coriander chutney and curd on the side.
