Recipe- Healthy To Eat Kaddu Chilla For Fast

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.

½ 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.
