How to make Besan cheela with step by step images

In a bowl add besan flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, cumin seeds, chopped onion, green chilli and cilantro. Mix well using a spoon.
Now add water gradually to form a batter. The batter should be of flowing consistency. I used water around ½ to ¾ cup.
Heat a tawa. Now pour a ladle of batter on a preheated tawa and spread the batter like regular dosa batter. Drizzle some oil around it. Cook dosa/ cheela/ chilla in medium flame.
When sides brown flip dosa gently and cook till done. When done transfer it to a plate and serve it hot with spicy chutney.
