I believe this is a piece of helpful information. So, let's start making Cheela.


 Ingredients:-

  2. Black Gram(urad dal)- 1cup(without skin).
  3. Ginger-1inch(finely chopped).
  4. Red chili powder- 1/2 tsp.

  8. Flaxseed powder- 2-1/2tsp.
  9. Garam masala powder-1-1/2tsp.
  10. Turmeric powder-1/2tsp.
  11. Salt- To taste.
  12. Coriander leaves- a handful.
  13. Asafoetida- A pinch.
  14. Roasted Cumin powder- 1tsp.
  15. Vegetable Oil- as required (for shallow fry cheela).


Preparation Method:-

Step 1- First, one day before rinse both the lentils a couple of times. Then soak both the lentil in a separate bowl under sufficient water overnight.


Step 2- Next day, discard excess water from soaked lentils. Transfer both the soaked lentils; into a grinder jar. Add ginger, green chilies, and make a smooth batter. If required, then you can add 1-2tbsp of water(or adjust as desired). The consistency of the batter should have been like pancake batter.


Step 3- Once you get the proper texture of the batter. Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl. Now add chopped onions, chopped garlic, red chili powder, garam masala powder, flaxseed powder, salt, turmeric powder, coriander leaves, asafoetida, roasted cumin powder. Mix well all ingredients with lentils batter.


Step 4- Check the consistency of the batter. If the batter becomes too thick, you can add more water at this stage. Make sure the batter should have a thick flowing texture. Adjust salt and spice also at this stage.


Step 5- Place a flat non-stick pan(Tawa) on medium flame. Brush 1tsp of oil on the pan. Once the oil is heated well, pour a ladle full of batter in the center of the pan.


Step 6- Now, quickly spread the batter with the back of a spoon clockwise. Lower the flame and cook the lentil cheela until the cheela turns golden from both sides. 


Step 7- Follow the same process for the remaining batter. Now, Cheela is ready to serve with chutney.
