Ways To Amp Up Chilla Stuffings

Savoury pancakes known as cheela or chilla are typically made with besan or a type of dal. Since they are full yet light, chillas are typically eaten for breakfast or as an evening snack. In North India, these pancakes are known as chilla, and in South India, as pudla. Depending on the local communities, each state and region has its own recipe for producing chillas. The chilla's ingredients can also change based on taste preferences and dietary requirements. Besan is often the main ingredient in chilla, although modern consumers add other additives to improve flavour and nutritional value.
