2. Next, add water and use a beater to mix it so there are no lumps

4. Once the oil is hot enough, use a ladle to pour the chilla batter on the pan

5. Spread it well on the pan and cook it on medium flame

Tips

You can also stuff this chilla between two slices of toasted bread with coriander mint chutney smeared on the interior of the bread slices. This becomes a chilla sandwich.
