Introduction
A quick, clever, and hands-free way to make crispy Indian chickpea crepes (besan chilla) using a standard sandwich maker instead of a traditional tawa.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine besan, salt, turmeric, chilli powder, ajwain, chopped ginger, green chillies, chopped onion, coriander, and water. Whisk well to make a smooth batter.
Step 2
Add baking powder or ENO to the batter and whisk quickly to make the batter light and fluffy.
Step 3
Preheat and grease the sandwich maker with a little oil. Pour the batter onto the grill plates.
Step 4
Close the lid of the sandwich maker and let it cook. No flipping is required as it cooks evenly from both sides.
Step 5
Once cooked to a golden brown and crispy texture, carefully remove the chilla, slice into triangles or squares, and serve hot with green chutney.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Adding baking powder or ENO is crucial to make the batter airy, which gives the chilla a soft inside and crispy outside.
Grease the sandwich maker griddles thoroughly to prevent the batter from sticking to the plates.
Do not overfill the sandwich maker to avoid the batter spilling out from the sides when closed.
