Instructions

Making besan chilla batter

  • In a mixing bowl, add besan, turmeric powder, salt, red chilli flakes, ajwain and required or 1.25 cup water to make a medium thick batter.
  • Whisk the batter in one direction so air incorporates into the batter and makes a soft and fluffy pudla.
  • Cover and rest batter for 15-20 minutes.

Making potato stuffing

  • In a pan, add oil, jeera, ginger-garlic paste and green chilli paste. Sauté for a minute.
  • Add onion and cook till onion becomes translucent.
  • Lower the flame and add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin powder. Mix well.
  • Now add boiled and mashed potatoes and salt. Mix well.
  • Then add garam masala, black salt, lemon juice and coriander leaves. Mix well.
  • The potato stuffing is ready.
  • Cool down the mixture completely and make round and slightly thin tikki from the stuffing. Keep it aside.

Making besan chilla sandwich

  • Heat the tawa, grease with oil and lower the flame.
  • add chilla batter and spread it slightly in a circular motion.
  • Add oil to the sides of chilla and cook it evenly from both sides.
  • Then place potato stuffing tikki in the center of chilla.
  • Cover the tikki with besan batter.
  • Flip it. Cover and cook it on medium-low flame till it is slightly golden brown from both sides.
  • Serve besan chilla sandwich with tomato ketchup or green chutney.

Notes

  • whisk batter in one direction so air incorporates into the batter and chilla becomes soft and fluffy.
  • chilla batter has a medium thick and pouring consistency.
  • rest batter for 20 minutes so gram flour (besan) soaks properly.
    spread chilla on low flame.
  • cook the first layer of chilla on both sides and then place potato tikki on it.
  • cover and cook the second layer of chilla on medium-low flame.
