🧾 Ingredients:

• 1 cup Suji (Semolina / Rava)
• ½ cup Curd (Yogurt) – fresh, not too sour
• ½ cup Water (adjust as needed)
• 1 small Onion – finely chopped
• 1 small Tomato – finely chopped
• 1 small Capsicum – finely chopped (optional)
• 1–2 Green chilies – finely chopped

🔪 Instructions:

1. Make the Batter:

• In a mixing bowl, combine suji, curd, and water. Mix well to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
• Let it rest for 10–15 minutes (suji will absorb water and thicken).
• After resting, check consistency – it should be like dosa batter. Add a little more water if too thick.

2. Add Veggies & Spices:

• Mix in chopped onion, tomato, capsicum, green chilies, coriander leaves, grated ginger, turmeric, cumin seeds, and salt.

3. Cook the Cheelas:

• Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle. Grease with a few drops of oil.
• Pour a ladleful of batter and spread gently into a medium-sized circle (like a pancake).
• Drizzle a few drops of oil or ghee around the edges.
• Cook on medium heat until the bottom turns golden brown (about 2–3 minutes).
• Flip and cook the other side until lightly crisp.

4. Serve Hot:

• Serve suji cheelas hot with green chutney, tomato ketchup, or curd.
