Vrat Ka Chilla or Kaddu Chilla

Vrat ka Chilla or Kaddu Chilla is a farali recipe, perfect for Navratri fast. Pumpkins are in the season; so it can be a perfect fall breakfast for family get together. Since, it's Navratri, I have shared some fasting recipes for this week, but I thought it only fair to share a recipe for chilla as well. It is an unique and something different from regular sabudana, potato or samo recipes, specifically this pumpkin chillas.

Notes

  • Before spreading the prepared batter on a griddle, each time stir the batter very well, then pour over the griddle.
  • You can use kuttu/buckwheat flour instead of Farali flour.
