- Gradually add water to the mixture and stir well until you get a smooth batter with a medium-thick consistency.
- Cook the Chilla with Param Cow Ghee
- Heat a tawa (griddle) on low flame.
- Grease it with a little Param Dairy Cow Ghee.
- Pour a ladleful of batter on the tawa and spread it evenly to form a round chilla.

- Cook on low flame until the chilla turns golden and crispy on one side.
- Add a little more Param Dairy Cow Ghee on the sides and flip it gently to cook the other side.
- Serve Hot

Tips:
- Cooking with Param Dairy Cow Ghee enhances the flavor and makes the chilla healthier.
- You can add more veggies like grated carrots or onions for added taste.
