Prepare the Batter

Gradually add water to the besan mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and flowing, similar to dosa batter consistency.

Spread Chilla Batter

-Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot griddle and spread it gently in a circular motion to form a thin pancake -Drizzle a few drops of oil or ghee around the edges of the chilla

Cook Until Golden Brown

Serve Hot

Once cooked, transfer the besan chilla to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more chillas.
