Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Besan (Chickpea flour)
• 1.25 cups Water
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 piece Green chili
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
• 2 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by dry roasting the rolled oats in a pan for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat until they turn slightly golden. Allow them to cool.

Step 2

Grind the roasted oats into a fine powder using a grinder or food processor.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, besan, water, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth batter.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion, tomato, and green chili. Add them to the batter along with chopped coriander leaves.

Step 5

Stir the mixture to evenly distribute the vegetables and spices. The batter should be of pouring consistency; adjust water if needed.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick pan or a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of oil.

Step 7

Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it evenly into a circle using the back of the ladle.

Step 8

Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the chilla. Cook for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until the sides start to lift slightly.

Step 9

Flip the chilla gently and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

Step 11

Serve the sugar-free oats chilla hot with yogurt or a chutney of your choice.
