Ingredients

  • Besan - 1/2 cup
  • Curd - 1/4 cup
  • Grated Mozzarella Cheese -1/2 cup
  • Finely chopped onion - 1
  • Finely chopped tomato - 1
  • Chopped Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup
  • Finely chopped ginger - 1 teaspoon
  • Capsicum - 1/4 cup
  • Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder - 2 pinches
  • Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt as per taste
  • Water and oil as required.

Instructions

  1. Take besan in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix all the ingredients except the cheese, curd, water and oil.
  3. Mix in the curd and water.
  4. With a wired whisk beat the mixture. If the batter looks thick, add 1-3 tablespoon more water. (Depending on the quality and texture of the besan, addition of water will be more and less).
  5. Mix to a smooth flowing consistency in the batter.
  6. Heat a tawa on a low flame and spread a bit of oil. Let the tawa become medium hot. Then take a ladle full of the batter and pour on the tawa.
  7. Gently with the back of the ladle, begin to spread the batter. Spread lightly and gently so that the cheela does not break. On a low flame, cook the cheela till the top begins to look cooked. Then drizzle 1/2 teaspoon oil on the cheela at the edges and all around. Continue to cook until the base gets golden brown.
  8. Flip and now cook the other side. Spread the mozzarella cheese and fold it.
  9. Serve your Veggie Besan Cheela with cheese hot or warm.
