Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Makki Ka Chilla
- For a fluffier chilla, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes after mixing.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook one chilla at a time to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the consistency of the batter as needed. If it's too thick, add a little more water; if it's too thin, add a little more corn flour.
- Experiment with adding other vegetables like finely chopped onions, bell peppers, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
