Instant rava cheela is a pancake made using as the name suggests rava/sooji i.e. semolina. It is been flavoured with some ginger chilli paste and fresh coriander and to add some bite to it, chopped onions have been added. Further as the name suggests it is an instant recipe and doesn’t ask for too much of your time, making it an apt instant breakfast recipe.
As such instant sooji cheela can be prepared with any variety of semolina that is available; in the recipe I have used the regular variety (the thick one). Also I have the practice to roast semolina slightly (without any change of colour) and store it. It not only keeps semolina fresh but also gives better results. I have not added many vegetables as I wanted the recipe to be quick to make. Yogurt has been used in the recipe. Use fresh yogurt and not sour one. Little sugar can be added to balance the flavours.
Other cheela recipes on the blog are dal ka cheela, besan ka cheela and more.
1. Take 1 cup semolina in a mixing bowl. Add ½ cup yogurt (dahi).
2. Add ½ cup water.
3. Mix well.
4. Keep aside for 15 minutes.
5. After 15 minutes, add 1 chopped onion, 1 tsp ginger chilli paste and handful of chopped coriander leaves.
6. Add spices i.e. salt to taste, pinch of turmeric powder and red chilli powder each.
7. Mix well. Add ¼ cup water.
8. Check the consistency. Batter should have thick but flowing consistency.
9. Heat a pan. Spread the batter on pan. Cook on low flame. Once it seems partly cooked drizzle little oil.
10. Cook from the other side too till cheela is golden from both the sides. Serve hot. Bon appétit.
