About Onion chilla

Onion Chilla is a savory pancake originating from Indian cuisine, known for its simplicity and nutritional value. Made primarily with gram flour (besan), finely chopped onions, cumin, turmeric, and other spices, this dish is often enriched with fresh herbs like cilantro. It is pan-cooked without requiring excessive oil, making it a lighter snack or meal option. Gram flour, a key ingredient, is rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, supporting digestion and sustained energy. Turmeric adds an anti-inflammatory boost, while onions contribute antioxidants. Onion Chilla is naturally gluten-free and can be customized with additional vegetables for enhanced nutrition. While generally considered healthy, moderation is advised as excessive use of oil or accompaniments like heavy chutneys may increase its calorie count. Enjoyed as breakfast or a midday snack, it represents a wholesome blend of flavor and nourishment from the heart of Indian cooking.
