Suji Chilla (Healthy Breakfast)
A wholesome and savory Indian breakfast made with semolina, yogurt, and fresh vegetables. Suji Chilla is soft in the center, lightly crisp on the edges, and perfect for a quick, nourishing start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semolina (suji or rava)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup water, as needed
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup carrot, grated
- 1 small green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick pan or tawa over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, plain yogurt, chopped onion, grated carrot, green chili, cilantro, salt, and cumin seeds.
- Add water gradually and mix until a smooth, pourable batter forms. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Lightly grease the heated pan with a small amount of oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and gently spread it into a round shape.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown, then flip carefully.
- Cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes until lightly crisp and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adding a few drops of oil as needed. Serve hot.
Notes
- Allow the batter to rest so the semolina absorbs moisture properly.
- Adjust water gradually to avoid a runny batter.
- Cook on medium heat for even browning.
- Stir the batter before each pour as semolina may settle at the bottom.
