Bajra also known as pearl millet, is rich in carbohydrates and protein. It also has minerals like calcium and phosphorus. Bajra is a winter crop grown extensively in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan.

Ingredients
(makes 16 mini cheelas)

Bajra flour (pearl millet flour) 1 cup
Salt 1 tsp
Green chili 2
Chopped coriander leaves 3 tbsp
Chopped bell pepper (shimla mirch/capscium) 1/2 cup
grated carrots 1/2 cup
Oil 2 tbsp for cooking

Method of preparation

In a mixing bowl take bajra flour. Add salt. Add water a little by little to make a smooth paste. Whisk well.
Add chopped green chilies, coriander leaves, chopped bell pepper, and grated carrot in the bajra flour paste. Mix well.
Add a little more water if needed to get a smoothly running consistency.
Heat the griddle. It may be easier to make cheela in a non stick griddle. Grease the griddle. Take a ladle of batter and spread it into a small ~3 inch circle. I use a 12 inch griddle and make 6 cheelas at a time.
Sprinkle a little oil, and cook it from both sides.
Delicious cheela is ready to serve. Serve hot cheela with chutney of your choice.
