    It is an Indian pancake which is made in every Indian household. It is popularly known as cheela. It is a quick and easy vegetarian recipe full of nutrients and perfect for breakfast to start the day or lunch. It was made from gram flour with some veggies and basic spices as this were loaded with lots of healthy ingredients and full of flavors.

    Cheela is a vegetarian omellete because of color and texture. It is most popular in North India as a quick breakfast recipe. It has a mix of vegetables which is good for a healthy breakfast and uses less oil for cooking which makes this a healthy option. It can be made with different ingredients like semolina, oats, rice flour, green gram paste, or wheat flour. In India pancakes, there are sweet and salty pancakes of various variety and they have distinct names.

    It is a quick and easy recipe. You can make it in different ways like using different flours or by adding veggies to the batter or stuffing cottage cheese in the cheela. While making cheela try to soak and rest the batter for 30 minutes so it can absorb the water and you would not feel bloated after eating cheela. If you are making besan cheela add few carom seeds (ajwain) which help in digestion and it combines well with besan (gram flour).

    In my cheela recipe, I have used oats and besan (gram flour) to make it healthy so I have used oats also. If you want it can be only made with besan (gram flour) or oats flour. I have added vegetables of my choice but you can add some more veggies to your chilla. It is served with mint and coriander chutney.
