Chilla is spiced savory salted pancake. It is a very popular breakfast. It is healthy, nutritious, quick and simple. You can make it with many variations like- Sooji chilla, oats, moong etc. Most popular and tradition chilla is made from besan (Chickpea flour). But to change the taste you can make it with many varieties. I am using Oats flour and Jowar flour (Sorghum Flour). Try this recipe and start your healthy day.
