Cooking Steps
In a bowl, combine gluten-free couscous, (chickpeas) gram flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add enough water to the bowl to form a batter with a pouring consistency. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
Add grated zucchini, grated carrot, and chopped fresh coriander leaves to the batter. Mix well.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan and spread it into a thin, round shape.
Cook the cheela for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the cheela and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it is golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Serve hot.
