To make Palak Chilla, you need 1 cup of finely chopped fresh spinach, 1 cup of gram flour (besan), a finely chopped onion, a tomato, a little capsicum, and fresh coriander. Spices include half a teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste, a quarter teaspoon of turmeric, a quarter teaspoon of carom seeds, salt, water for the batter, and oil for cooking.
Mix the chopped spinach, vegetables, spices, and gram flour in a bowl, then slowly add water to form a smooth, lump-free batter that is neither too thick nor too thin. Heat a griddle, apply oil, pour a ladleful of batter, spread it circularly, and cook on medium flame until golden and crispy.
Hot spinach chilla can be served alongside green chutney, curd, or any chutney of your choice. It works well as a quick morning breakfast, a light meal option, or with reduced spices when prepared for children.
