BESAN VEGGIE CHILA ( SAVORY PANCAKE)

Hello everyone
What to prepare for tiffin which will be healthy and filling , and most importantly loved by all ,is really big question everyday. So today I am having answer to the same question which I also face every morning.
To prepare healthy and yummy tiffin snacks in morning rush is a real challenge. My today's recipe is really quick , easy , healthy and of course yummy that was loved by everyone. My fussy eater too finished his tiffin. Everyone is familiar to besan chila, but I only added some veggies to it and served in bite size pieces to make it more easier and comfortable to eat. Which made it protein rich, fibre rich as well as presentable snacks. Recipe is given below, hope you will like it.

BESAN VEGGIE CHILA( SAVORY PANCAKE)


Ingredients 

1 cup chickpea flour( besan)
1/3 cup mix veg finely chopped ( spring onion,grated carrots,capsicum,cabbage)
1 tbsp finely chopped green coriander leaves 
1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/4 tsp chaat masala
1/4 tsp turmeric powder 
1/4 tsp black pepper powder
1/4 tsp red chilli powder or 1 green chilli finely chopped 
1/4 tsp lime juice
Salt to taste

Method:

Mix all ingredients together using sufficient water to make a lump less smooth batter of pouring consistency. 



Now heat a nonstick pan and drizzle some oil on it. Pour one laddle full of batter on it and spread in thick round shape chila.
Let it cook till upper side starts to look completely dry. Flip it to other side.


 Apply some oil on it like we do for paratha( completely optional). Cook till both sides get nicely golden.



Now roll it and cut in diamond shapes. 


Your so quick , easy and healthy snacks is ready to be served with any sauce or chutney.



You can also use multigrain atta instead of besan to make missi chila.
It can be made stuffed too. I usually stuff samosa filling in it. You can also stuff paneer filling or mix veg filling too. 
It comes out really so delicious that you will replace unhealthy samosas with it. It is a perfect starter too with no more hassles and healthy too.
Hope you all will like this easy peasy kids friendly healthy snacks. Please let me know your likes, dislikes, suggestions and comments regarding this, they meant a lot to me.

Happy cooking....
