Crunchy Pumpkin Chilla

       Hey everyone! It's a lockdown situation..trying to avoid the boredom. I guess this is the best time to do some experiments in my kitchen lab. Again, here, I need to take care of the limited stock while cooking.. It seems Corona is teaching a lot of lessons to mankind right from scratch!
Today's recipe I dedicate to the bachelors, as my sister who stays in hostel tried to make an Indian pancake or chilla and expertising her cooking skills at home during the lockdown. Here, I am sharing her recipe with some twists and innovations.







      Ingredients:

  • Onion 1(finely chopped)
  • Pumpkin 2 thin slices(and chopped)
  • Tomato 2 (chopped)
  • Carom seed 1 tsp
  • Garam masala 1 tsp
  • Chili powder 1tsp
  • Gram flour 150 gm(approx.)
  • Wheat flour 100gm
  • Baking powder a pinch
  • Egg 1 no.
  • Black Mustard seed 1tsp
  • Salt to taste 
  • Oil for cooking
  • Ghee for seasoning
       
                                                   Follow the method in this video. 
Methods: 


  • Take the chopped pumpkin in a bowl and add a pinch of salt, half tsp sugar, carom seeds and water bath it to maintain its crunchy texture.
  • Now in a bowl make the gram flour and wheat flour batter with water. Add egg, baking soda, and all the given spices. Mix it well. 
  • Add tomato,onion and pumpkin into the batter.
  • Heat and grease a pan. Pour and flatten a cup of this batter onto it. The veggies should be flattened evenly.
  • Cook for a few minutes.Oil the corners and on the top. Flip it and cook the other side.
  • Once it is cooked, season it with ghee and serve hot with curd or chutney.
