Teatime on Sundays is always quite thought provoking.........yeh banau yah voh (translation - should I make this.....or should I make that). I really like to keep changing the Menu on the Tea table. All it takes is a little before-thought. This is one good recipe & is quite filling too. You can also use it as a breakfast item.
Ing -
For the Chilla
1/2 kg - besan / gramflour
1 onion - chopped
green chillies as per taste
salt as per taste
a big pinch of asofetida
1/4 tspn - saunf / fennel seeds
a bunch of corriander leaves - chopped
For the filling
250 gms - paneer mashed
1 onion - chopped
1/2 tspn - jeera
1/4 tspn - garam masala
1/4 tspn - red chillies
corriander leaves chopped
Method
Add water to the besan & make it into dosa batter consistency.
Add all the ingredients listed above & keep aside for a while
Meanwhile in a fry pan add some oil & when hot add the jeera
Add the onions. When pink in colour, add the paneer & the rest of the ingredients.
Fry till the moisture dries up.
Heat a griddle & pour the batter onto it. Spread it like a dosa
Cook on both sides by drizzling some oil on the sides.
When a nice golden brown add a tbspn of filling in the center of the chilla.
Spread it lengthwise & fold it just once.
Serve with mint corriander chutney.

I found your blog through my comments! Loving your recipes. But why no pictures? It would be great to see your food too...
Hi Mallika - thanks for dropping by. I post the pics as and when I make the dish. I post the recipe as and when I remember something, so quite a few times the pic comes in at a later date. If you check the other posts, there are a lot of pics.
what a nice recipe! I can't wait to try it, thanks for sharing
Saju - thanks for dropping by. Am glad you liked the recipe. Do try & let me know
Hey Shella, thanks for dropping by my blog and for your kind words. You have quite some lovely recipes on your blog here. I usually make the besan chillas with just the masala...but the paneer must add an extra zing to it....will definitely try it out.....

My dear Sona
I know, actually I am working & th4 I am inhibited to preparing lovely dishes like this on a weekend or only if I have time. I habitually post the recipes whenever something strikes my mind, & then make it a point to prepare the dish ASAP & then post the pic. So most of the times the pic comes in later than the recipe. Sometimes very very late.
I hope you will all bear with me.
Vytilla - wow. I am from Karshaka Road, Panampilly Nagar - right near the Ernakulam Station. I just visited the lovely place in July end, after 9 loong years. If you read my first post you'll know.
