✅ Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats (powdered)
2 tbsp besan (gram flour)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1 small tomato (finely chopped)
1 green chili (optional)
2 tbsp grated carrot
1 tbsp chopped coriander
Salt to taste
½ tsp cumin seeds
Pinch of turmeric
Water to make batter
1 tsp olive oil or ghee (for cooking)
Step 1: Make Oats Flour
Take regular oats and blend them in a mixer or grinder until they turn into a smooth, fine powder. Make sure there are no chunks left — the finer the powder, the smoother your cheela will be.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine:
Oats flour
Besan
Chopped onions, tomatoes, carrots
Green chili and coriander
Cumin seeds, turmeric, salt
Add water slowly while mixing to create a medium-thick batter.
Step 3: Cooking the Oats Cheela
1. Place a non-stick tawa or frying pan on medium heat and let it warm up.
2. Lightly brush it with a few drops of oil or ghee for a smooth surface.
3. Now take a ladle full of the prepared batter and gently pour it onto the center of the pan.
4. Use the back of the ladle to spread the batter in a circular motion, just like making a dosa
5. Let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until you see the edges turning slightly brown.
6. Carefully flip it using a spatula and cook the other side until golden and slightly crispy.
