gram flour
🥗Healthier: chickpea flour
💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour
Chickpea flour is high in protein and fiber, while all-purpose flour is more economical.
Press your nails into the bottle gourd to check if it's tender; if it leaves an indentation, it's good to use.
Peel the skin of half of the tender bottle gourd and grate it into a bowl.
Add 2 cups of grated bottle gourd to the bowl.
Add 1 medium-sized finely chopped onion and 2 finely chopped green chilies to the bowl.
Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida, and 1/4 teaspoon carom seeds (lightly crushed) to the bowl.
Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder, 1/2 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder, and 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt to the bowl.
Add 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 cup gram flour, and 1 cup sprouted jowar flour to the bowl.
Add 1/2 cup of fresh moringa leaves and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped coriander leaves to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients well, ensuring everything is coated with the flours.
Gradually add approximately 1/2 cup of water to achieve a spreadable batter consistency, mixing well.
Heat a cast iron tawa and grease it with wood-pressed ginger oil.
Once the tawa is heated, reduce the flame to low and add 2-3 tablespoons of the batter, spreading it into a thin chilla.
Drizzle a little more wood-pressed oil or ghee on top and cover to cook on low flame for about 2 to 2.5 minutes.
After 2.5 minutes, open the lid and carefully flip the chilla to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Flip it over again if needed, then transfer the chilla to a plate.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, serving the chilla with chutney or pickle.
