About Chila
Chila, also known as Cheela, is a savory pancake commonly found in Indian cuisine. Made primarily from gram flour (besan) mixed with water or yogurt, it forms a smooth batter flavored with spices like turmeric, cumin, and chili powder. Vegetables such as chopped onions, tomatoes, and green chilies are often added for texture and nutritional value. Chila is typically pan-fried with a small amount of oil, resulting in a crispy exterior and soft interior. A rich source of protein and fiber, thanks to the gram flour, Chila is considered a wholesome and filling meal. Low in fat when cooked with minimal oil, it provides essential vitamins and minerals from the added veggies. However, its healthiness can vary based on the oil used and any additional toppings or fillings. Chila is a versatile dish enjoyed as breakfast, a snack, or light lunch across India.
