Chilla is a savory pancake popular in Indian cuisine, made primarily from gram flour (besan) or lentil flour mixed with spices and water to form a batter. Often enhanced with finely chopped vegetables like onions, tomatoes, and spinach, it is a nutritious and protein-rich dish suitable for breakfast or a light snack. Chilla is naturally gluten-free and can be customized for various dietary preferences. Its low-fat content makes it a heart-healthy option, especially when cooked with minimal oil. Rich in fiber, it aids digestion and promotes satiety, while its high protein content supports muscle health. Chilla can be a wholesome choice, though its healthiness depends largely on the toppings and amount of oil used during preparation. Variations include moong dal or oats-based chillas, offering even greater nutritional benefits. Easy to make and versatile, chilla is cherished as a quick, nourishing meal choice across India.
