Gramflour pancake(Besan Ka Chilla)


 Gram- flour is a very good source of proteins. Along with a high protein content, the carbohydrates proportion is also very high.Combining the protein and carbohydrates value makes gram flour an excellent nutritional supplement.

INGREDIENTS:
Gram flour( Besan)- 2 cup
Salt- 1 tsp
Water
Chopped Onions- 1/2 medium sized
Chopped Green Chillies - 2 nos
Freshly Chopped Coriander leaves-2 tbsp
Oil

Method:
  1. Take the gram flour in a bowl and add the salt to it.
  2. Now pour in enough water to get a smooth batter with no lumps in it. The batter should not be too watery nor too thick. The consistency should be such that it is easy to pour with a laddle on the hot plate and doesnot stick very fast to the plate just like the dosa batter.
  3. Now add the chopped onions, green chillies, coriander leaves to this mixture.
  4. Heat a cooking plate and pour around 1 tsp of oil on the cooking plate. Let it get hot and then reduce the flame and add around 2 laddles of the batter on the cooking plate.
  5. Spread this batter evenly on the hot cooking plate with the help of the laddle in a circular fashion.
  6. Let it cook on the plate for 2 to 3 minutes till the side facing the cooking plate turns brownish.Now add some oil around the corners of this pancake and with the help of  a spatula gently release the pancake from the cooking plate. Be gentle so you do not break the pancake.
  7. Flip this pancake and repeat this procedure on the other side also.
  8. The crispy  gram flour pancakes can be served hot along with spicy green coriander chutney.
