Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 medium-sized (about 150g) Fresh Beetroot peeled and chopped
- 1 Fresh Ginger inch piece, peeled
- 1 Green Chili small (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon Cumin Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt or to taste
- ½ cup Water + 2-4 tablespoons (for blending and adjusting consistency)
- 2-3 tablespoons Oil or Cooking Spray for cooking
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash, peel, and chop the beetroot into small pieces. Steam or boil until tender, then let it cool slightly.
- Combine cooked beetroot, rolled oats, ginger, green chili, cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt, and ½ cup of water in a blender.
- Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to achieve a pancake batter consistency.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl, cover, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to hydrate the oats.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the griddle and spread it into a thin, round chilla.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges are cooked and bubbles appear, then drizzle oil, flip, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Remove the cooked chilla and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Serve the Beetroot Oats Chillas immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida or finely chopped coriander leaves to the batter. These chillas pair well with a mint chutney or plain yogurt.
