- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and water and make a thick lump free batter. The paste should be thicker than regular dosa batter.

- Heat a tava and drizzle 1 tablespoon oil.
- When the oil gets heated, pour one ladle full of batter on the heated tava or frying pan.
- If the vegetables accumulate in the center, then using your fingertips or spoon spread the vegetables around.
- Cover the pan with a lid for 5 minutes.
- Open the lid of the tava/frying pan and spread 1 teaspoon oil on top of the bhakri/cheela.
- Let it get cooked again for 5 minutes on low flame, but now with the lid of tava being opened.
- Flip to the other side and let it get cooked for another 10 minutes or until the edges appear crispy.
- Serve this bhakri/cheela with tomato chutney or simply eat it as it is.
Notes

- Grated carrot and carrom seeds can also be added.
- Instead of oil, ghee can be used.
- If batter becomes thin and watery, add wheat flour little at a time to make it thicker.
