Namaskar Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
Today we are preparing super tempting cheelas fro vrat.
Let's start with the procedure of making cheela.
Start with grinding sama rice and sago pearls.
We have taken 1/4 cup sago pearls, rinsed them thoroughly with water and soaked in water
We have soaked sago pearls for 3 hours.
Here we have nicely soaked sago pearls.
Press them like this and you will see that these can be easily mashed.
Place the sago pearls in a mixer jar along with water and grind finely.
We are done with grinding the sago pearls, transfer them to a separate bowl.
We have taken 1 cup samo rice, cleanes them nicely, rinsed well with water and soaked for 3 hours.
Drained out the extra water and here we have the rice.
Now we will grind these rice as well.
As the jar size is little small so we will grind the rice in two portions.
Add some water and grind them little coarsely.
Rice are ground well, transfer them to the same bowl.
Similarly grind remaining rice as well.
Thoroughly mix the sago pearls and samo rice mixture and add some spices to it.
We have 3/4 tsp sendha salt, 2 finely chopped green chilies (remove seeds), 2 tbsp green coriander leaves, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds and mix everything really well.
Keep the consistency of batter a little thin.
Don't make the consistency too thin rather it should have pouring consistency.
Batter is ready and we have used 1 cup of water for making this much batter.
Turn on the flame and heat the tawa.
Grease the tawa nicely with some oil.
Reduce the flame to minimum so that the tawa cools down a little.
Clean extra oil with help of a tissue paper.
Tawa is little warm, now spread the cheela batter over it.
Pour 2 to 3 tbsp batter over the tawa and spread it like this in round shape.
You can keep the size of cheela big or small as per your preference.
Increase the flame and spread some oil all over the cheela.
Pour some oil over the cheela as well.
You can even out the cheela like this.
Cheela has turned golden brown from beneath, flip the side.
Now let it roast until it gets little brown spots on the other side as well.
Cheela is roasted from the other side as well, take it off from flame.
Reduce the flame and let the tawa cool down a little.
It is very import to cool down the tawa to get thin cheelas.
Wipe off the tawa using a wet cloth.
Similarly prepare the other cheela.
Reduce the flame and let the tawa cool down a little.
Now we will prepare cheelas with another method.
Let use make the batter a little more thin in consistency.
We are adding 1/2 to 0.75 cups of water and give a thin consistency.
Spread the cheela over the tawa now.
Spread out the cheela like this keeping it very thin.
It is very convenient to spread the cheela using this method.
Here we have spread the cheela.
Increase the flame and pour some oil all around the cheela.
Roast the cheela until it gets golden brown in color from beneath.
Pour some oil over the cheela as well.
Prior making the other cheela, stir the batter nicely as rice flour settles to the bottom and water is left over the top.
So give it a nice stir.
We are done with roasting the cheelas.
With this much batter 6 to 7 cheelas are ready.
Super duper tasty and yummy vrat cheela are ready.
