Cooking Steps

Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and add chopped onions, tomatoes, and capsicum. Mix well.
Add red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala powder. Mix again.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and spray some cooking spray or add a little oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the center of the pan and spread it evenly in a circular motion.
Cook 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 also golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more cheelas.
