1. →50 g besan (chickpea flour)
2. →1/2 onion, finely diced
3. →1 small tomato, finely diced
4. →1 green chilli, chopped
5. →1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp ajwain
6. →1 handful coriander, chopped
7. →1 tsp oil
8. →100 g curd (dahi), toned
9. →Salt

1. 01Whisk the besan with about 100 ml water, the turmeric, ajwain and salt to a smooth batter the thickness of pouring cream. Rest it 5 minutes.
2. 02Stir in the onion, tomato, chilli and coriander.
3. 03Heat a non-stick tawa on medium, brush with half the oil, and pour half the batter. Spread it thin with the back of the ladle.
4. 04Cook 3 minutes until the edges lift, flip, and cook 2 minutes more. Repeat with the rest.
5. 05Serve both chillas with the curd on the side.

The 50 g of besan is the number that matters — eyeballing it is how a 310 kcal breakfast becomes a 500 kcal one. Add 30 g of grated paneer to the batter to push protein to about 23 g.
