- Adjust the consistency by adding water. The batter should be medium thick.
Cook the Chilla

- Lower the flame to medium-low. Pour 2 ladles of batter and spread gently (not too thin).
- Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook for 1 minute. Flip and cook the other side until golden and crisp.
Serve
