• The batter should be of thick pouring consistency.
• Heat frying pan, crackle the cumin seeds and add the sliced onions.
• Saute on medium heat till the onion changes colour.
• Add the sauteed onions, chopped spinach, chopped green chillies (optional), turmeric powder and salt to the lentil batter.
• Heat the non stick griddle on medium heat, spread 1 ladle full of batter on the griddle.
• Put about a tsp of oil around spread batter.
• Let it cook on medium heat.
• After about half a minute, flip it over.
• You will notice that one side has become golden brown.
• Cook until both sides have a golden brown colour.
• You might like the chilla to be crisp, so you can let it cook a little more on low heat till you get the required texture.
• Alternatively you can add finely chopped raw cabbage, chopped mint leaves and raw grated carrots to make tasty chillas.
