In a bow; add besan and all the spices. Now add water little at a time and make a free flowing batter. It should not be very thick neither very watery.

Step 2

In a pan heat oil and add fresh paneer. Once the paneer starts to dizzle add salt and pepper. Cook for another 2 mins. Keep it aside to cool.

Step 3

Now heat a tawa or a skillet. Smear oil and wipe it off like coating the tawa. Let the tawa cool. This tricks helps so that chilla does not stick.

Now tawa should not be very hot before you put the batter.**see notes.

Step 5

Take a laddle full of batter. Spread it evenly on the tawa and spread little oil on the sides.

Step 6

Now flip again and put 2-3 tbsp of filling and fold in half.

Step 8

Enjoy with a cup of tea or juice.

Step 9

Chilla's are served best with green coriander chutney.
