Kuttu Ka Chila is a Navratri special recipe ideal for those holding a fast. This is an Indian pancake, or dosa made of kuttu ka atta or buckwheat flour, along with grated potatoes and cucumber.
In a mixing bowl add kuttu ka aata, rock salt, freshly chopped coriander leaves, grated ginger, chopped green chilly, grated potato (potato laccha), grated cucumber, water as needed. Mix it well and make medium thick smooth batter.
Heat tawa and grease it with little oil. Wipe off the extra oil with tissue paper and make the pan smooth.
Now spread a spoonful batter and spread it evenly in clockwise to make chilla.
Drizzle little oil all around and top of the chilla.
Let it cook for a minute or until it becomes brown from downwards, once cooked flip it over and cook the other side till dark spots appear on the lower surface.
Repeat the same process for the remaining batter.
Take out Kuttu ka chilla from the pan and serve hot with any green chutney of your choice.

Notes
You can also use regular salt instead of rock salt but if you are making during fast then you have to add rock salt. You can skip green chilly if you don’t want to eat spicily. You can also make it by adding only grated potatoes or grated cucumber. Do not keep grated potatoes for a longer time as it will become dark so I will suggest you to grate it directly into the bowl while making the batter.
