Oats Chilla / cheela – A very healthy ,delicious and easy to make savory pancake made with oats and vegetables

Oats Chilla  is a quick ,easy and filling breakfast recipe. You can grind the oats and soak for few minutes and your healthy breakfast will be made in a jiffy. You can add gram flour,semolina,wheat flour ,rice flour for binding and to enhance the taste. Vegetable can be added as per your taste and availability.

Traditionally chilla’s are made with either gram flour/ besan or moong daal but this oats chilla is very healthy and equally delicious. The method of making oats chilla is similar to the regular chilla’s

How To Make Oats Chilla/ Oats Uttapam

Making oats cheela is very simple. First of all you need to soak the oats and sooji for 15 minutes .Then whisk the batter with a whisk,fork or use a hand blender ,both ways it work fine.

OR Grind the oats and semolina to make a powder and store in a jar and when ever you want to make cheela then just  soak for few minutes. grinding oats and using the powder reduces the soaking time. Do which ever method suits you.

Add spices ,yogurt and water and make a medium thick batter like idli batter. Don’t make the batter thin else it will take time to cook and the cheela become too soft. You can also make oats chilla with just tomato ,fresh coriander,green chilies only OR add some vegetables of your choice to make it more healthier.

How To Make Oats Vegetable Uttapam

If you add only coriander,green chili in the batter then its Oats cheela and if you add mixed vegetable in the batter or spread on top of the cheela then its oats vegetable uttapam so you can make 2 recipes with the same batter.

Addition of vegetables depend on your choice and availability. Chop them fine or use a vegetable chopper. Usually tomato,carrot ,capsicum taste good in oats uttapam.

Cook oats chilla from both the sides on medium to low heat till golden and crisp. Best served hot with mint chutney, Tamarind chutney ,tomato ketchup or any tangy sauce of your choice. It can also be packed in lunchboxes .

How To make Vegan Oats Cheela

To make it Vegan just skip adding yogurt and add 1.5 tsp of lemon juice in the batter. Or use any vegan yogurt or milk to make the batter.
