Hello everyone,
Winter mornings often bring laziness, especially when paired with light rain like today. Deciding on breakfast was a challenge, but my kids' special request inspired me to turn this Sunday into a "Creative Sunday" by preparing Makki Atta Chilla—a dish that's both delicious and healthy. Loaded with vegetables, it was a big hit with my husband and daughters. Here's the recipe for this wholesome delight:
𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨:
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups maize flour (makki ka atta)
1 cup semolina (suji)
1 cup gram flour (besan)
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
1 tsp pink salt (or as per taste)
Vegetables (finely chopped):
1 Carrot
1 Onion
1 small piece Cabbage
1" Ginger piece
1/2 Capsicum
A generous amount of fresh coriander
𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙:
𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧:
Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Gradually add water to create a thin, smooth batter. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
𝘼𝙙𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙑𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨:
Use a chopper for convenience to finely chop the vegetables. Mix them into the rested batter and adjust the salt if needed.
𝘾𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖:
Heat a non-stick tawa (griddle) and pour small portions of the batter to make mini pancakes. Cook on both sides until golden brown.
𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚:
Serve hot with chutney or sauce of your choice.
This breakfast is not only a treat to the taste buds but also packed with nutrition, thanks to the wholesome ingredients and fresh vegetables. It’s perfect for a cozy winter morning, and my family absolutely loved it!
