  4. Step 4

    Repeat the process for the remaining batter.

Prepare the Raita

  2. Step 2

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the batter is not too runny; it should have a thick consistency for easy spreading.

  2. Cook the chilla on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.

  3. You can adjust the spice levels in the raita and chilla according to your taste preferences.

FAQS

  1. Can I use any other flour instead of gram flour?

    Gram flour is essential for this recipe as it binds the ingredients well. However, you can experiment with other flours like whole wheat or rice flour.

  2. Can I skip the boondi in the raita?

    Yes, boondi adds texture to the raita, but you can skip it or replace it with chopped cucumber or grated carrot.

  3. How can I make the chilla gluten-free?

    To make the chilla gluten-free, omit the suji and use only gram flour.

  4. Can I store the batter for later use?

    It's best to prepare the batter fresh, but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

  5. What can I serve with palak chilla?

    Palak chilla pairs well with raita, chutney, or ketchup. You can also serve it with a side of salad.
