Cooking Steps
In a large mixing bowl, combine the suji, besan, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add water as needed to make a smooth batter. The batter should be of pouring consistency.
Heat a non-stick tawa or pan over medium heat. Grease the tawa with oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the tawa and spread it evenly in a circular motion.
Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the cheela. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.
Flip the cheela and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more cheelas.
Serve hot.
