Chilla is a popular snack and breakfast option for people who want a protein-rich diet with taste. But to go beyond the classic besan chilla, here are some types to add variety to your meals.

Millet Chilla

Try pearl millet or foxtail millet for a healthy and gluten-free chilla, and whip up a quick snack.

Moong Dal Chilla

Made primarily with moong dal, this chilla is also high in protein and keeps you full for a longer time.

Oats Chilla

To give a modern twist to traditional chilla, you can make oats chilla filled with fibre and nutrients.

Ragi Chilla

For people who want a gluten-free diet, ragi chilla is a must-try for a light and nutritious breakfast.

To add flavour to the chilla, you can mix chopped tomatoes and onions into the batter and cook.
