NOTES-
  • You can either mix the chopped vegetables in the batter or top them over the chilla like uttapam. 
  • You can grind the oats and semolina and store in a jar ,then you don't need to grind or whisk the batter before making cheela.
  • You can add rice flour and wheat flour instead of semolina and gram flour.
  • Can use any types of oats i.e instant or rolled
  • Add water according to the quality of oats you are using, make the batter semi thick  else it will take time to cook and cheela may become too soft and soggy.
  • you can use sour buttermilk instead of yogurt and water.
  • If the yogurt is not sour then can add 1/2 ts of lemon juice in it.
