Instructions

2. 2. Stir in the chopped tomato, capsicum, green chili, and coriander leaves into the batter. Mix well.
3. 3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and drizzle a few drops of olive oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it evenly into a thin circle. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 4 cheelas.
4. 4. In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make a tangy yogurt dressing.
5. 5. Prepare the filling by combining shredded cabbage and grated carrot in a bowl. Toss with a spoonful of the yogurt dressing.
6. 6. To assemble, place a cheela on a plate, spread a thin layer of yogurt dressing over it, and add a portion of the cabbage-carrot filling in the center. Fold the cheela into a wrap.
7. 7. Serve the wraps warm, optionally with a side of mint chutney for added flavor.
