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/
| Servings |

- 1 cup Besan or Gram Flour
- 1 medium Red Onion (finely chopped) You can even add grated carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, beetroot anything.
- 1 medium Tomato, finely chopped
- 2-3 medium Green Chilli, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Coriander Leaves
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- Pinch of Asafeotida / Hing
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 2 tbsp Oil
Ingredients

|
- In a bowl, add the chopped vegetables - in this case red onion, tomato, green chilli and coriander leaves and add the gram flour.
- Add water to it incrementally and mix everything well so that there is no lump. It shouldnt be too dense or too liquidy. Just of the regular pancake consistency.
- In a pan, spray some oil or add some oil and the batter. Cook this on a medium flame on both sides. This might take some time but if you cook it on high flame, you might not cook it properly but rather burn the sides.
- Toss it to the other side and let it cook on the other side as well for 3 minutes.
- Serve this with some chutney and ketchup.
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.
