Crispy rice flour crepes, Chawal ka cheela(chilla) also called Chattisgarh ka dosa is a quick and easy breakfast made with rice flour and you can add veggies of your choice if you like.
I like the fact that almost any flour can be made into cheela or pancake. Adjust the consistency, add some veggies and spices and spread on hot tawa/griddle. It is that easy, however the way we pour/spread makes a lot of difference in the taste and texture. Some of the flours that you can use to make cheelas are chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, broken wheat flour, oats flour, Quinoa flour, lentil flour and the list can go on.
In this recipe I have added spinach and onions. These cheelas are very thin and crisp and go very well with chutneys like coriander chutney, coconut or peanut chutney.
