The key to making tasty atta chilla (pudla) at home are
- Firstly, I made chilla batter with regular wheat flour and add some rava for its crispy texture. Also, I would heavily recommend soaking and resting the batter for a minimum of 20 minutes.
- Chilla batter has to be thin and watery so that it can be easily poured on top of the pan. in addition, while the batter is poured on top of the dosa pan it should be very hot so that it easily gets spread and make lacy (jalidar) stature.
- In the batter, you can add vegetables of your choice to make it more nutritious.
- roast the chilla on low-medium flame with a generous amount of oil making it crispy and tasty. also, if the chilla is soft then add some water to the batter and prepare it.
- Lastly, atta chilla tastes great when served hot and with spicy chutney.
