Beetroot Cheela Recipe

1. Combine besan, oats flour, carom seeds, salt, and asafoetida in a bowl. Whisk until the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Chop the cooked beetroots into chunks and blend them into a smooth puree.
3. Combine the beetroot puree with the dry ingredients and mix until a vibrant red-pink batter forms. Adjust the consistency by adding water as needed, aiming for a medium-thick texture. Finally, stir in the chopped coriander leaves and onions.
4. Heat a non-stick tawa over medium heat and brush with a few drops of oil. Pour two ladlefuls of the batter onto the tawa and spread evenly in a circular motion. Cook the cheela until it's golden brown and crispy on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter to make more cheelas.
5. Your delicious cheelas are now ready! Serve them with a dollop of curd, a side of mint chutney, or your favourite dip for a satisfying treat.
