Alu Chilla Recipe: How to Make Crispy Vegetable Pancakes from Raw Potatoes for Fasting

If you are tired of traditional Navratri dishes such as Sabudana Khichdi and Vadas, you can try crispy Chela made from zucchini and Kuttu flour. This article presents a simple recipe that allows you to easily prepare delicious vegetarian snacks.

During the nine days of worship of Goddess Durga, many observe a fast, paying special attention to nutrition. Usually, during the fast, people eat Sabudana Khichdi, Vadas, or fruits, but constantly eating the same foods can cause boredom. Therefore, if you want to diversify your fasting diet with something new and appetizing, you can make Chela from zucchini and Kuttu flour.

This dish is easy to prepare at home and does not require a large number of ingredients. If you also wish to move away from ordinary fasting dishes this Navratri, try zucchini Chela with Kuttu. Next, we will explain how to prepare zucchini Chela with Kuttu and what components are needed for it.

To begin cooking, thoroughly clean the zucchini, wash it with clean water, and then grate it into a bowl. In another dish, take Kuttu flour and gradually add a little water, mixing thoroughly so that there are no lumps in the mixture.

After that, add the grated zucchini to this mixture and mix well. Add a little water as needed to achieve the desired consistency, which allows the mixture to be easily spread on the pan. Then stir in Sendha salt and black pepper to taste.

Heat the pan and grease it with a small amount of ghee. Pour the prepared mixture onto the pan and spread it evenly into a round shape. Cook the Chela over low or medium heat. When one side of the Chela is nicely browned, flip it and fry it on the other side.

When the Chela becomes golden and fully cooked on both sides, transfer it to a plate. Prepare the remaining Chela from the leftover mixture in the same way.
