Gram flour chilla/cheelaL

Gram Flour Chilla, also known as Besan Chilla, is a traditional Indian dish made by preparing a batter from gram flour (chickpea flour), mixed with spices and sometimes finely chopped vegetables. It is pan-fried lightly with a small amount of oil to form thin pancakes popular mainly in North India.

This dish is a staple vegan breakfast or snack food, cherished for its tasty, savory flavor and ease of preparation. Gram flour is naturally gluten-free and derived from pulses.

Nutritionally, Gram Flour Chilla provides significant amounts of folate (Vitamin B9) and manganese, nutrients essential for various metabolic processes. It also offers moderate protein from the gram flour, making it a filling option. Since it is pan-fried with minimal oil, the fat content is moderate.

Suitable for vegan diets, Gram Flour Chilla fits well into multiple meal occasions such as breakfast, evening snack, or light dinner.
