Homemade - Besan Chilla (1 cooked)

Keep the portion to 1–2 medium besan chillas and avoid adding rice flour, maida, or potato to the batter.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, methi, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, or cabbage to increase fiber and volume.

Include a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, tofu, or eggs; avoid sweetened yogurt or sugary chutneys.

Cook with a modest amount of oil and add seeds such as chia, flax, or sesame to the batter for extra fiber and healthy fats.

Skip high-carb sides such as bread, rice, potatoes, sweet chutneys, juice, or sugary tea; choose mint-coriander chutney or a salad instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal and avoid eating the chilla as a large late-night meal.
