Chillas and Garwanu

This is a Gujarati dish and it proves quite a wholesome meal. My kids like to eat this for breakfast and well as their lunch. When the wanted something different and tasty, I knew that it was time to think “differently” too. Luckily my sister-in-law was visiting me for a short while and she displayed her cooking skills!

For the Garwanu

Wheat flour – 1 tbsp

Ghee – 1 tbsp

Milk – 1 big cup ( approx 300 ml)

Sugar – 1 tbsp

Roast the wheat flour, add ghee and saute for about a minute. Add milk and sugar and cook it till it acquires a semi – thick consistency. The Garwanu is ready. This is similar to a dip, so you can pour this into a dip bowl to serve with the chillas

For the Chillas

Wheat Flour – 3 tbsp

Gram Flour – 2 tbsp

Rice flour – 1 tbsp

(makes about 4 chillas)

Salt to taste

Turmeric – 1/4th tsp

Mix all the ingredients with water to form a smooth batter. Set aside for 10 minutes. Heat a non stick pan, grease it and pour batter and quickly spread it as a dosa. You can use pure ghee to coat each side of the chillas. Serve hot with Garwanu.

Variations : you can add chopped tomatoes, onions, green chillies and grated ginger in the batter for kids who can adjust to the taste of the veggies.
