Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Besan (gram flour)
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Tomato, finely chopped
• 1 unit Green chili, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by grinding the rolled oats into a fine powder using a blender or food processor.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the oat powder, besan, and water. Whisk until you have a smooth batter without any lumps.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, tomato, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the batter. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with some oil.

Step 5

Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it gently with the back of the ladle to form a thin pancake.

Step 6

Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges become golden brown.

Step 7

Carefully flip the chilla and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it's cooked through and has brown spots.

Step 8

Remove the cooked chilla from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the oats chilla hot with your choice of chutney or yogurt.
