Weekend Breakfast : Rice Chila !!

It's weekend and everything goes finally at our sweet slow pace! While we yearn to stay in bed for a couple of more minutes, kids and family demand for something new and lip smacking for breakfast.
So here's what you can serve them without compromising on the much need beauty sleep!

Rice Chila

Ingredients

• 1 small bowl of rice flour
• 1 tbsn suji
• 1 tspn ginger chopped  
• 1-2 chillies chopped
• few corriander leaves finely chopped
• 1/2 tspn shahi jeera
• salt to taste 
• 1-2 lemon juice optional

Method

Mix all the ingredients in the rice flour and add water to dosa batter consistency. Keep it aside for 15 -20 mins. If the batter soaks all water then add more water to maintain the desired consistency.

Take a dosa pan/tawa and grease it with little oil/ghee/butter. Spread 1 ladle full of batter on the pan and spread it out into a small round. Keep the thickness more than a dosa. Check if the side turns golden brown and flip it to let the other side turn golden. Keep the flame low throughout.

Serve it hot with ketchup/chutney/tomato sabji and win hearts of your family as you always do.
