FAQs

Q1: Can I make the batter for Besan Chilla ahead of time?

The batter can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge for up to four or six hours. Besan, or gramme flour, tends to sink to the bottom, so be sure to thoroughly mix it before using.

Q2: What causes my Besan chilla to break or adhere to the pan?

This may occur because of:
Using a pan that is either cold or not heated evenly
Not using enough ghee or oil
Too thick or too watery of a batter
Always use a hot, well-greased nonstick or cast iron pan to prevent this, and cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking.

Q3: Is it possible to include veggies in Besan Chilla?

Of course! You can include chopped veggies like onions.
The tomato
Bell peppers and spinach
Grated zucchini or carrots
This improves taste and nutrition. Cucumber and other vegetables that are too watery should be avoided as they may cause the batter to become runny.
