  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 1/2 cup carrot
  • 1/2 cup spring onion
  • 3 tbsp coriander leaves

  • This savory pancake is the hero of Indian breakfasts, and this suji cheela recipe is a no-fail guide to making it like a pro.
  • Start by mixing 1 cup of suji (rava) with 3 tablespoons of yogurt and just enough water to form a smooth, slightly thick batter.
  • Add a veggie boost with 1/2 cup each of grated carrot and onion (or spring onion for a fresh twist), 3 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves, and 1 finely chopped green chili for a spicy kick.
  • Then comes the flavor bomb: 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and salt to taste.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to thicken up just right.
  • Heat a non-stick pan, drizzle a little oil, and pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot surface.
  • Spread it out thin with the back of the ladle for those crispy edges we all love. Cook on medium heat until the bottom turns golden, flip it over carefully, and cook the other side to perfection.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter until you have a stack of crispy, flavorful suji cheelas.
