Cooking Steps
In a mixing bowl, combine the Quinoa flour, chopped onion, chopped capsicum, grated carrots, chopped green chili, chopped coriander leaves, cumin seeds, red chilli powder and salt.
Gradually add water to the mixture while stirring continuously. The consistency of the batter should be similar to dosa or pancake batter, smooth and lump-free and let it stand for 5-7 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan or tawa on medium heat. Grease it lightly with oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan and spread it in a circular motion.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges of the cheela and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom side is golden brown and crisp.
Flip the cheela using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it becomes golden brown.
Once cooked, transfer the cheela to a plate and serve hot.
