Chilla Recipe: If you love traditional Indian snacks, you must try Singhare Ka Atta Chilla—a delicious and nutritious alternative to the usual besan chilla. Made with water chestnut flour (singhare ka atta), this dish is not only gluten-free but also a perfect fasting (vrat) recipe. While singhare ka atta is commonly used for making halwa or puris during religious fasts, turning it into a crispy, savory chilla adds a delightful twist to your vrat menu.

Why Choose Singhare Ka Atta Chilla?

  • Healthy & Gluten-Free: Ideal for those with gluten intolerance or following a fasting diet.

Ingredients for Singhare Ka Atta Chilla

  • 1 cup singhare ka atta (water chestnut flour)

  • 1-2 finely chopped green chilies

  • Sendha namak (rock salt) to taste

Step-by-Step Cooking Method

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a bowl, mix 1 cup singhare ka atta, chopped green chilies, and sendha namak.

    • Gradually add water to make a smooth, lump-free batter (similar to dosa batter consistency).

  2. Cook the Chilla:

    • Heat a non-stick pan or tawa and lightly grease it with ghee or oil.

    • Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it gently into a round shape.

    • Drizzle ghee around the edges and cook on medium flame until the bottom turns golden.

  3. Flip & Serve:

    • Once crispy, flip and cook the other side.

    • Serve hot with coconut chutney, yogurt, or vrat-friendly green chutney.
