Instructions

1. 1. In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, tandoori masala, cumin seeds, and salt.
2. 2. Add finely chopped onion, tomato, green chili, and coriander leaves to the bowl and mix well.
3. 3. Gradually add yogurt to the mixture and stir to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if needed; it should be pourable but not too runny.

6. 6. Flip the chilla carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and slightly crispy.
7. 7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
8. 8. Serve the tandoori masala chilla hot with a side of yogurt or mint chutney for a wholesome breakfast.
