Instructions
-
Mix the Flours and Spices:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bajra flour, Jowar flour, Rice flour, Ginger-Garlic paste, Coriander powder, Turmeric powder, Salt, and Red Chili powder. Stir all the ingredients together until they are well blended. -
Prepare the Batter:
Slowly add water to the flour mixture while stirring continuously. The goal is to create a smooth, pourable batter. Adjust the salt as needed. The batter should be of pouring consistency – smooth but not overly thin. -
Incorporate Flavor Additions:
Add the Cumin seeds and finely chopped Spring Onions to the batter. Mix well, ensuring that there are no lumps and that the ingredients are evenly distributed. -
Heat the Tawa and Cook the Cheela:
Heat a non-stick, flat-bottomed tawa or skillet over medium heat. Add a few drops of Sunflower oil, just enough to lightly grease the surface. -
Spread the Batter:
Once the oil is hot, take a ladleful of batter and pour it onto the center of the tawa. Use the back of the ladle to spread the batter in a circular motion, forming a thin layer. -
Cook the Cheela:
Drizzle a few more drops of oil along the edges. Allow the cheela to cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Flip it carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until it achieves a light golden-brown color and is fully cooked through. -
Serve Warm:
Once both sides are cooked and crisp, remove the cheela from the tawa and place it on a plate. Continue with the remaining batter, making additional cheelas as desired. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Pair your freshly made Mixed Flour and Spring Onion Cheela with Dhaniya Pudina Chutney and a cup of Masala Chai for a perfect, nourishing breakfast.
This versatile cheela can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast or a light snack any time of the day. Its combination of hearty flours and vibrant flavors from spices and spring onions makes it a wholesome dish, sure to energize and satisfy!
