Vrat ka Chilla or Kaddu Chilla is a farali recipe, perfect for Navratri fast. Pumpkins are in the season; so it can be a perfect fall breakfast for family get together. Since, it’s Navratri, I have shared some fasting recipes for this week, but I thought it only fair to share a recipe for chilla as well. It is an unique and something different from regular sabudana, potato or samo recipes, specifically this pumpkin chillas.
Ingredients½ cup Kaddu/Pumpkin Puree
1 cup Farali flour
½ cup Yogurt/Dahi
¼ tsp Turmeric Powder
¼ tsp Red Chili Powder
¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Green Chili-Ginger Paste
Salt
3-4 tbsp Oil for Shallow Fry
Method* In a mixing bowl, add farali flour, pumpkin puree, yogurt and mix it well, then add required water and make a smooth batter, it should be like a thin pakoda batter.
* Now, add turmeric, red chili powder, back pepper powder, green chili-ginger paste, salt and mix it well, keep aside for 15-20 mins.
* Heat the griddle, check the batter and if it's thick, then add little more water and mix it well.
* Spread a few drops of oil on the griddle, then using ladle spoon or small cup spread the prepared batter on the hot griddle and make a round crepe.
* Cook the crepe for 30-40 second on medium flame, then using flat spatula flip to the upside down on griddle and cook another 30 second.
* Remove the prepared chilla/crepe on plate, use the same method for the remaining batter and make more crepes.
