Stuffed besan pudla (chilla) is a tasty and healthy recipe made with a combination of gram flour, semolina, and regular spices, which is stuffed with grated paneer toppings. I share a special masala recipe, which enhances the taste of pudla stuffing. It is a nutritious meal for early morning breakfast or perhaps as a snack for a kid’s lunchbox. It is thin, crispy, and very easy to prepare with all available ingredients in your kitchen. Do try this!
The key to making perfect stuffed besan pudla at home are
- Firstly, I made pudla batter with besan and rava (semolina). The addition of semolina into the batter gives a crispy texture to pudla.
- Pudla batter plays a critical role in it. the batter has to be neither thick nor thin and has to be somewhere in between like a dosa batter.
- For stuffing, adding veggies to the paneer stuffing is completely open-ended and you can add as per your preference. but ensure that these veggies are finely chopped and easily make nice and mushy stuffing.
- roast the pudla on medium flame with a generous amount of oil making it crispy and tasty.
- Lastly, besan chilla tastes great when served hot and crisp.
