Thinking what to cook is the hardest thing. ย Once you know what to cook, it is a piece of cake. ย Today I was thinking what to cook for lunch, didn’t want anything heavy as that will put me to sleep. ย So, wanted to keep it light. ย Sooji (Semolina) is very light and ended up making easy sooji ka chilaa. ย This can be eaten as a snack or if you want to eat it for breakfast.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cup sooji (semolina)
- 1/3 cup yogurt
- salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 chopped green chilli
- chopped cilantro
- 1 small diced tomato
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1/4 cup water
- Olive oil/canola oil
- paprika for color
Directions:
Mix sooji and yogurt in a mixing bowl and set aside for half hour.
Chop all the ingredients mentioned, green chilli, cilantro, tomato, and onion in a plate.
Check the batter and adjust the consistency by adding a little water. Add salt and red chilli powder into the batter and mix.
In a frying pan, add a tbsp of olive oil, then pour the batter enough to spread it in a circular motion like a dosa. Sprinkle the chopped onion, cilantro, tomato, green chilli and paprika to it.
Iย did not add tomatoes as we don’t like chunky tomatoes, instead I added orange colored bell pepper for color.ย After a 2-3 minutes turn the pancake over and cook for another few mins.
Make sure it is cooked evenly and serve hot with mint chutney.
