Notes

  • Rava gives crispiness to chilla
  • The crispy and lacy (jalidar) pattern of pudla is due to moisture (water content) in the batter
  • The consistency of the batter should be thin and runny.
  • Heat tawa on high heat and also grease it with oil for the lacy (jalidar) pattern of chilla.
  • Lower the flame while spreading chilla
  • Cook chilla on low-medium flame. do not cook it on high flame.
  • Chilla tastes great when it is crispy and served hot.
