It is especially a diabetic friendly recipe, where you can add any finely chopped veggies or greens as per preference and availability. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it. 








  • 1 cup oats, dry roasted & ground 
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small tomato, chopped
  • 1 tsp. ginger, chopped
  • 1 tsp. garlic, chopped
  • 1-2 green chilies, chopped
  • 3 tbsp. celery leaves, chopped
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp. fresh grated coconut
  • 2 tbsp. roasted chickpea flour
  • 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
  • pinch of asafoetida
  • 1 tsp. nigella seeds
  • 1 tsp. sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp. chopped pistachios 
  • 1 tbsp. chopped almonds
  • 1/2 tsp. red chili flakes 
  • oil to shallow fry 








          In a bowl, mix together all the above mentioned ingredients (except oil). Add required quantity of water and make a batter of pouring consistency. 

          Keep it aside for 10-15 minutes. Adjust the consistency again and add more water if needed.

          Heat a non-stick pan and brush with some oil. Pour 1-2 ladleful of the batter and spread it  with the back of the ladle to make a round cheela . 

          Drizzle some oil around the edges and cook on one side. Then flip it over and cook the other side too. When done transfer to a plate. 

          Make similar cheelas with the remaining batter and serve them hot with chutney, sauce, yoghurt, pickle or any side dish.
