Who wants pancakes for breakfast! Me me me! I love pancakes and maybe everyone across the world does too. In India there are various types of pancakes, from thick to thin, small to large. All types of pancakes. Did you know Dosa is a type of pancake as well? Presenting Mix Veg Cheela the north Indian version of pancakes that are glutenfree and vegan too.
I love how you can incorporate all vegetables in this dish but let me warn you one thing you cannot skip on the asafoetida as it makes it easy for your gut to digest the gram flour. Remember not to skip it at all. I make different versions of cheela for different meals at home. Sometimes breakfast and sometimes even for dinner (if I am being too lazy).
I have paired this cheela with the green chutney that you can make well in advance for the week and use it for bunch of different things. You can find the recipe link to it here – https://spicetrip.nl/green-chutney/

- In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients except for the water and oil.
- Add water half at a time and whisk the mixture well to avoid any lumps. Add the remaining water and make a smooth batter
- Heat a flat pan and grease it with 2 tsp oil. Pour the batter using the soup ladle into the pan. Spread it into a thin pancake. Put a lid on top of the pan and let it cook for 2 mins.
- Remove the lid and let it cook for 1 more min. Flip the cheela and let it cook for 2 more mins.
- Take it off the pan and repeat this for the remaining batter.
- Serve this warm with a mint chutney and enjoy!
And ofcourse as I said earlier, Mix veg cheela can have different vegetables incorporated very easily in them. Like the one below. I added super finely grated beetroot and used that amazed redness with gram flour for some funky looking cheela.
