Ingredients
  • Oats flour - 1 cup
  • Besan/Chickpea flour - ¼ cup
  • Carrot - 1, medium, grated (about ½ cup)
  • Green beans - 5 to 6, finely chopped
  • Onion - 1, small, finely chopped
  • Green chilli - 1, finely chopped (optional)
  • Turmeric Powder - ¼ tsp
  • Black pepper powder - ¼ tsp
  • Ginger (paste or grated) - ½ tsp
  • Fresh coriander leaves/cilantro - ½ cup, chopped
  • Mustard oil or any other un-refined oil of your choice as required for brushing the pan
  • Water as required
Instructions
  1. First prepare the vegetables - finely chop onion, green beans, green chill (if using) and fresh cilantro. Grate the carrot.
  2. Now take a large mixing bowl and add the oats flour, besan or chickpea flour, turmeric powder, salt and pepper. Give a good mix.
  3. Next add the veggies and ginger. Give another good mix using a fork or wire whisk.
  4. Now start adding water ¼ cup at a time and start making the batter by mixing using a wire whisk with a very light hand. Consistency of the oats chilla batter should be similar to a regular pancake batter.
  5. Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle and brush some oil of your choice on it. Pour over a couple of ladle of the prepared batter and swirl the pan to make a round pancake like shape. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. After 5 minutes, uncover the pan and flip over the chilla and let the other side cook for 3 to 4 minutes. When both the sides are nicely browned, take it out on a plate.
  7. Repeat the same process to cook the oats chilla with remaining batter. Once all cooked, serve them warm with plain yogurt or curd or homemade green chutney. Enjoy!
