Besan-Cheelay (Gram flour Pancakes)

Besan -cheelay are pancakes made from chick pea flour or gram flour.One of my favourite breakfast/snack and it's healthy too.It can be made with or without stuffing.Below is the recipe of cheelas without filling but you can use potatoes,paneer or sprouts as filling.

Onion 1 small

Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp

Method

1. In a bowl mix besan,chopped onion,chopped coriander leaves ,all other spices and water(nearly 3/4 cup) to make a batter.There should be no lumps in the batter.Keep it aside for 10 minutes.

2. Heat a frying pan on medium flame and grease it with some oil.Now pour some batter in the middle of the pan and spread it like an omelet.

3. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes and then flip it to other side.If necessary pour some oil on the corners and cook till it is done and crispy.

4. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 till all the cheelas are done.Serve hot with tomato sauce/ketchup or green chutney.
