🥗Healthier: red lentils

💰Cheaper: yellow split peas

Red lentils are often cheaper and cook faster.

1

In a bowl, add besan and some grated carrots, boiled sweet corn, grated paneer, coriander leaves, green chilies, salt, crushed black pepper, and roasted sesame seeds.

2

Add curd to the mixture.

3

Gradually add water to achieve a thick, easily spreadable batter.

4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the besan to absorb water.

5

Heat a tawa until medium hot and drizzle with oil.

6

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the center of the tawa and spread it out.

7

Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown, drizzling oil on top after a minute.

8

Flip the chila and cook until golden brown on the other side.
