How to Make Gramflour Pancakes Besan Ka Pura Chila

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gram flour, water, milk, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, asafoetida, and salt until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thick, like pancake batter.
  2. Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the gram flour to absorb the liquid and creates a more tender pancake.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil or ghee to the pan.
  4. Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  6. Serve the Besan Chilas immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy with chutney or your favorite condiment!
