Chila {Savory Indian Crepes}

Ingredients:

Chila —

• 1.5 cups of semolina flour
• 1/2 cup of chickpea flour
• 1 cup yogurt, beaten
• 2 + 1/4 cups of water
• 1 cup onion, finely minced
• 1 cup carrot, grated
• 1/8 cup coriander leaves, minced
• 3 green chilies, chopped
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garam masala

Coconut Mint Chutney —

• 1 cup freshly shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 green chili
• 2 sprigs of fresh mint leaves
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, stir all chila ingredients until smooth. Keep aside to rest for a few minutes.
2. Meantime, heat a large non-stick skillet (tava) on medium. Using a pastry brush, very lightly oil the skillet.
3. Depending on the size of crepes, add a few tablespoons of batter. Using the back of a spoon, immediately begin spreading out the batter as thin as possible.
4. Allow crepes to cook on one side before flipping. Drizzle a little oil over the top and sides of crepes before flipping. Cook crepes until the sides begins to brown. Each crepe would take about 1 to 3 minutes to cook (depending on the thickness).
5. Continue cooking crepes until batter is done.
6. To make chutney, add all the ingredients into a small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
7. You can serve chila with some chili sauce, chutney’s or any other savory condiments.
