Navratri Special Recipe: Falhari Cheela

Falhari Cheela

In my previous article, I shared a healthy Falhari Dhokla recipe. As promised, I am going to share another yummy recipe you can make and enjoy with your family this festive season! Falhari Cheela is kind of pancake made from a combination of Singhara Atta (Water Chestnut Flour) and Kuttu ka Atta (Buckwheat Flour).

These flours contain many health benefits and nutrients such as protein, calcium and vitamins which keep one energetic during fasting. The batter is spiced up with Indian spices and finely chopped green chillies.

How to Prepare Falhari Cheela

What you will need:

  • Kuttu ka Atta (Buckwheat Flour) – ½ cup
  • Singhara ka Atta (Water Chestnut Flour) – ½ cup
  • Chopped Green Chilli – 1
  • Chopped Coriander Leaves
  • Jeera (Cumin) – 2 teaspoon
  • Haldi (Turmeric Powder) – ½ tsp
  • Black Pepper Powder – 2 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Ghee (for cooking)

Method

  1. In a bowl, add the flour, chopped chilli along with coriander leaves, jeera, haldi, balck pepper and salt.
  2. Mix the batter with enough water to get a pouring consistency.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan and pour a ladle of batter and spread it evenly like a pancake. Do not spread the batter a lot, as it would then stick to the pan.
  4. Add a teaspoon of ghee on the sides of cheela and spread some sesame seeds to add a crunchy flavor.
  5. Cook on both sides for about 2 minutes until done.
  6. Serve the hot Falhari Cheela with Tamatar ki Chutney (Tomato Chutney) or Coconut Peanut Chutney.

Highlights of the Recipe

  • Falhari Cheela is perfect for breakfast or dinner. It is filling and easy to digest.
  • The oil/ghee used is minimum, as it is not fried.

This Navratri, let’s take a pledge to eat as healthy as possible. Also don’t forget to burn the calories by enjoying the Garbha Nights in your city!

Navratri Special Recipe: Falhari Dhokla

falhari dhokla

A year ago, I wrote about How to keep Navratri Healthy where I shared some basic tips on choosing healthy alternatives during Navratri. This time, I’m sharing some special Navratri recipes which you can make at home and relish guilt-free! The first recipe is the Falhari Dhokla!

How is it Prepared?

Falhari Dhokla is made with a blend of Samak ke Chawal (Sama flour) and Kuttu ka Atta (Buckwheat flour) by soaking it in some Dahi (Yoghurt) and water, then adding Indian spices for flavor

Traditionally, Dhokla batters are prepared by fermentation and steaming method, which is then finished with a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves on top of it. Since, Kuttu Dhokla can be preferred during Navartri, it is prepared in a simple way without any tempering.

Falhari Dhokla Recipe

What you will need:

  • Kuttu ka Atta (Buckwheat flour) – 1 cup
  • Samak ke Chawal (Sama flour) – ¼ cup
  • Dahi – ½ cup
  • Green Chilli (grounded and pasted) – 1
  • Finely chopped coriander leaves
  • Black pepper powder – 1 tsp
  • Red chilli powder
  • Fresh grated coconut (to garnish)
  • Eno’s fruit salt
  • Salt as per taste

Method:

  1. Mix Kuttu ka Atta, Samak ke Chawal, Dahi, chilli paste, coriander leaves, black pepper, salt in a big bowl. Mix well to make it a batter. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Stir tablespoon oil and a pinch of Eno’s fruit salt into the batter.
  3. Grease the Dhokla plates with little oil and pour the batter evenly forming a thick layer.
  4. Sprinkle red chilli powder and steam it at high heat in the steamer (Idli maker can also be used) for 10-15 minutes until done.
  5. Cut the hot and steamed Dhokla into square or diamond pieces.
  6. Garnish with grated coconut and coriander leaves.
  7. To enhance the taste serve with Spicy Green Coriander chutney.

Highlights of the Recipe

  • The ingredients are easily available in your house during Navratri.
  • It is prepared with a healthier cooking method i.e. steaming. No fried = No Guilt!
  • It is a healthy and easy to cook alternative to any Falhar snacks and tastes best when served with a hot cup of tea.
  • The kids will love it!

Hope you enjoyed this Falhari Dhokla recipe. During Navratri, try something different and avoid fried food as much as possible! Will you try this at home? Share you views and experience in the comments below!

Stay tuned for my next recipe which will be on how to prepare Falhari Cheela!
