Methi Chilla (Fenugreek leaves chilla/ pancake)

I like to make recipes which are easy and made with less ingredients still tasty. This Methi Chilla is made in my house many times during winter season. We serve this with ketchup, coriander and mint chutney or raita. Also we use to make milk-poha with this and serve chilled after having methi chilla. It was great fun...


For making methi chilla you will need :-
1 cup besan / chickpea flour
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
Pinch of red chilly powder
Pinch of turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon ginger chilly paste
4-5 tablespoon fenugreek leaves washed and finely chopped 
Water as needed
Oil for shallow frying chilla


Take a bowl and add chickpea flour and all dry ingredients to it. Mix it well. Add all the other ingredients to it except oil and water. Add water little bit at time to make pouring consistency batter. Allow it to rest for about half and hour. Take a non stick griddle and allow it to heat little bit. Add little oil to it and then pour little bit of batter to make a small pancake of it. Allow it to cook on one side. Flip it over and cook on other side and apply little bit of oil on both sides to roast it properly. Take into plate and serve hot or at room temperature.

Besan chilla can be also served in breakfast with tea.
