Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato, finely chopped
  • 1 small green chili, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated carrot
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as needed
  • Oil for cooking

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and yogurt. Gradually add water while stirring to create a smooth, thick batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
    • Add the chopped onion, tomato, green chili, grated carrot, spinach, and coriander leaves to the batter. Mix well.
    • Add cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to taste. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Heat the Pan:
    • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
  3. Cook the Chilla:
    • Pour a ladleful of batter onto the heated pan and spread it evenly to form a thin pancake.
    • Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
    • Flip the chilla and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it is fully cooked and has golden spots.
  4. Repeat:
    • Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding a little oil to the pan as needed.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the rice chilla hot with chutney, yogurt, or a side of your choice.

Cooking time: 20-25 minutes

Tips:

  • For added flavor, you can mix in some crushed garlic or ginger paste into the batter.
  • Adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
  • Ensure the batter is not too thick or too thin for the perfect chilla texture.
  • You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, corn, or peas to the batter for variety.
