Savory Oats Cheela with Vegetables

1In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats (1 cup), yogurt (½ cup), and water (½ cup). Mix well and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

2After the oats have softened, add the chopped onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, grated carrots (¼ cup), green chilies (2), cumin seeds (½ teaspoon), turmeric powder (½ teaspoon), red chili powder (½ teaspoon), garam masala (½ teaspoon), and salt. Mix everything until well combined.

3Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and add a little oil to grease the surface.

4Once the oil is hot, pour a ladleful of the oats mixture onto the skillet and spread it into a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

5Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip it over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

6Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

7Once cooked, remove the cheela from the skillet and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with chutney or yogurt (½ cup).
