Instructions
- Take ½ cup quick cooking oats in a mixer or grinder and grind to a fine powder.
- Take the ground oats flour in a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup besan.
- Now add everything except for oil and water.
- Pour about 2/3 to 3/4 cup water.
- With a wired whisk begin to mix everything. If the batter looks thick, then add 1 to 3 tbsp more water. Depending on the quality and texture of besan and oats, addition of water will be more or less.
- Whisk to a smooth flowing consistency in the batter without any lumps. Break lumps if any while mixing batter.
- Beat a tawa or a flat pan on a low flame. Let the pan become medium hot. Then take a ladle full of the batter and pour on the pan.
- Gently with the back of the ladle, begin to spread the batter. Spread lightly and gently so that the cheela does not break.
- On a low to medium flame cook the cheela till the top begins to look cooked. Then drizzle ½ to 1 tsp oil on the chilla at the edges and all around. With a spoon spread the oil all over. Skip oil if you want to prepare oil free chillas.
- Continue to cook till the base gets light golden. Then flip.
- Now cook the other side.
- Cook this side till you see golden spots on the oats besan cheela.
- Fold and serve hot or warm.
- Serve oats cheelas plain or with any chutney of your choice or with tomato sauce.
