Some tips to make the perfect chilla:


  1. Make sure the batter is smooth and thick like pancake batter. Too thin or too thick will not make the chilla good.

  2. Cook the chilla on medium heat to ensure it cooks well.

  3. You can also add other vegetables like grated zucchini, palak, capsicum, or chopped cabbage for extra nutrition and variety.

  4. Use less oil while making it. You can use a non-stick pan for this.
