These besan-based savory chillas are a popular and quick Indian breakfast or snack option, quite similar to moong dal chilla but with a simpler batter and crispy texture. This is another delicious and healthy way of using gram flour to make an easy, light, and tempting recipe that can be customized with your favorite fillings.

I always like to add my personal touch to every dish using different masalas, so tried experimenting with various traditional and fusion recipes. Make sure to make every dish look appealing by garnishing it properly. I will try different healthy recipes in the future but my recent go-to dish is the besan chilla. I think many people are bored with the same paratha or poha recipe, so this recipe can certainly be a new change and a new way of using gram flour recipes. One of the best things about this recipe is that it can be made in no time and also does not require any fancy ingredients that are not easily available. Just pour the batter, add your toppings, and cook it to perfection.

Moreover, I will share some easy and important tips and tricks while preparing besan chilla at home. Firstly, in this post, I have kept it simple with salt and red chilli powder, but you can always experiment by adding ajwain, turmeric, or even chopped green chilies for extra flavor. Secondly, don’t forget to finely chop the onions and evenly spread the grated paneer to ensure every bite is flavorful. Thirdly, a light sprinkle of sambhar masala gives it a surprising twist — but feel free to try chaat masala or pav bhaji masala as alternatives. Lastly, serve it hot with spicy green chutney, tomato ketchup, or curd for the perfect combination. Avoid storing it, as it tastes best when served fresh off the tawa.
