Lauki Chilla | Bottle Gourd Pancake Recipe | How to Make Lauki Cheela for Breakfast | Chef Bhumika

gram flour

🥗Healthier: chickpea flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Chickpea flour is high in protein and fiber, while all-purpose flour is more economical.

Grate the bottle gourd and squeeze out excess water.

In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, grated bottle gourd, chopped green chili, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, salt, turmeric powder, and cumin seeds.

Mix well to form a smooth batter, adding water as needed to achieve a pourable consistency.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it gently into a round shape.

Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.

Flip the chilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

Serve hot with chutney or yogurt.
