Chickpea Chilla - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
This Chickpea Chilla is a PCOS-friendly recipe.
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpea flour ( besan)
- 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 to 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon corn oil for frying
- 1 cup loosely packed grated carrots and beets
- 2 scrambled eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the chickpea flour, yogurt, ginger, turmeric, pepper and salt together. Whisk in water until the mixture is thick but pourable, like pancake batter. Set the mixture aside for a few hours or overnight at room temperature until it ferments (the batter will rise and there will be bubbles on top). Heat a seasoned skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the skillet and spread it with the back of a ladle into an even circle. (Save the remaining batter for another use.) Cook until the edges are golden; flip the chilla gently and cook until the other side is browned. Stuff with the carrots and beets and eggs if using.
