For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 60 grams singhara flour
• 1 small potato, grated (about 60 grams)
• 30 grams grated carrot
• 1 finely chopped  green chili
• 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 2 teaspoons oil for cooking

Procedure:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the singhara flour with grated potato, grated carrot, chopped green chili, cilantro, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt.
• Mix well. Add water gradually, stirring continuously, until you get a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter—thick but pourable.
• Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil.
• Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot pan and spread it into a thin, even layer using the back of the ladle. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown.
• Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
• Transfer the cooked cheela to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
• Serve hot with green chutney, yogurt, or a side of your choice.
