How to make Besan ka chilla:

Gradually pour little water into it so that there should be no lumps.
Add water till it comes to a thick and smooth batter in pouring consistency.
Heat a non- stick pan on a high flame when it becomes hot reduces the flame on medium.
Spread little oil on a pan and pour a spoonful batter evenly in a clock wise.
Drizzle little oil around it and cook till it becomes brown and crisp.
Put little oil on the top and turn it upside down and cook the other side till it turns brown in colour.
Repeat the same process with the remaing batter and make 4-5 chilla for Kadhi.

Preparation for Kadhi:

In a big bowl, take the curd. Whip it well to make it smooth.
Add besan and all the spice powders under “for kadhi” and mix with the curd.
