Put besan (gram flour) in a large mixing bowl.
1 Cup Besan (Gram Flour)
Add around 1/4th cup of water and mix to remove all the lumps in the gram flour.
Add another 1/4th cup of water and make a thin batter.
Add finely chopped green chillies, minced ginger, garlic, fennel seeds (saunf), red chili powder and salt. Mix the spices well with the batter.
1-2 Green Chillies, 1/2 Inch Piece of Ginger (Adrak), 2-3 Cloves of Garlic, 1 Teaspoon Saunf (Fennel Seeds), 1 Teaspoon Red Chilli Powder, 1 Teaspoon Salt
Add finely chopped methi (fenugreek leaves) to the batter.
1 Cup Methi (Fenugreek Leaves)
Add more water if needed and make a mixture of flowing consistency.
Heat a tawa or a skillet and brush it with a few drops of oil. Then pour a large spoonful of batter on the tawa and gently spread it with the back of the spoon or ladle to create a thin pancake like disc. Pour a few drops of oil on the side.
When the bottom side is cooked, use a spatula to gently flip over the cheela.
Cook both sides completely and then remove the cheela from the pan. Make all the cheelas this way.
Methi cheela is ready. Serve it hot with tomato ketchup or any chutney.
