Hello there. You may be wondering where am I these days. Well I am very much here. But no matter how deeply I want to dedicate time for my blog I am unable to find time between all the chores and duties of the day. So I am like headless chicken running around completing one task after another. Many changes coming in, many discussions happening and many things moving. But cooking can never take a back seat, can it?
So if you are already following me on Instagram then you will know that I am posting delicious pictures of dishes almost on a daily basis.
Today’s recipe is Besan cheela. It is a very famous dish from northern India. It is another and instant version of dosa. Made from gram flour and veggies this is a healthy breakfast or snacking option. Gram flour is a staple grocery item in every household in north India. It is used in so many ways. It is healthy and fills up your stomach.
