Equipment
Method
- Add rajgira flour, grated carrot, coriander, cumin, green chilli, black pepper and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Pour water little by little and whisk to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
- Heat a non-stick tawa on medium flame. Lightly brush with oil.
- Pour a ladle of batter and gently spread it into a medium-thin chilla.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges lift. Flip and cook the other side until golden.
- Repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot with mint chutney or curd.
Notes
You can add grated beetroot, spinach or capsicum for extra fiber and antioxidants. Rajgira keeps the meal gluten-free and easy to digest.
