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

  • For extra nutrition and variety, you can also add other vegetables like grated zucchini, palak, capsicum, or chopped cabbage.

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