Ingredients
For the Chilla Batter
- 1/4 cup Besan Gram flour
- 1/3 cup Water Approximately, to make a smooth thin batter
- 1 tbsp Onion Finely chopped, optional - see Quick Swap
- 1 tbsp Tomato Finely chopped, optional
- 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves Finely chopped
- 1 Green Chilli Finely chopped, optional - see Spice Note
- 1 pinch Turmeric Powder
- 1 pinch Carom Seeds Ajwain, optional
- 1 pinch Salt Or as required
- 1 teaspoon Oil For cooking
For the Mint Coriander Chutney
- 2 tbsp Mint Leaves
- 2 tbsp Coriander Leaves
- 1 Green Chilli Small piece, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 pinch Salt Or as required
- 1 tbsp Water Or as needed, for grinding
Instructions
Preparing the Batter
- Whisk besan with water until smooth and lump-free, similar to a thin pancake batter. Add onion, tomato, coriander leaves, green chilli, turmeric, carom seeds and salt, and mix well.
Making the Chillas
- Heat a tawa on medium heat and grease lightly with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter and spread into a thin circle.
- Cook until the base turns golden, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat to make a second chilla.
Preparing the Chutney
- Grind mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilli, lemon juice, salt and water into a smooth chutney.
Rolling and Packing
- Spread a little chutney on each chilla, roll tightly into a log, and slice into pinwheels if desired. Pack the rolls with any remaining chutney in a separate small container.
Recipe Notes
Tiffin Pairing
The mint-coriander chutney rolled inside gives a fresh, tangy contrast to the savoury chilla.Make-Ahead Tip
The chutney can be made the evening before and refrigerated in an airtight container. The batter can also be mixed a few hours ahead.Quick Swap
Leave out the onion and tomato for a plain chilla if preferred - it still tastes good with just the spices and coriander.Allergen Note
Besan is gram flour and generally gluten-free, but check for cross-contamination on the packaging if you need a strict gluten-free product.Spice Note
Green chilli appears in both the chilla batter and the chutney - use it in just one place, or leave it out of both, for a milder version.Packing Tip
Rolling the chilla with the chutney already spread inside keeps the tiffin box tidy instead of packing chutney separately.Related Posts You May Like
