  4. Add paneer pieces – 1/2 cup (or substitute with tofu or soya chunks if preferred).
  5. Add salt to taste and mix everything. Cook for 2 more minutes, then turn off the heat.
  6. Finally, add chopped coriander leaves and transfer the stuffing to a plate.

Step 3 – Make the chilla wraps:

  1. Heat a non-stick pan and grease lightly with butter.
  2. Pour a ladleful of batter and spread evenly like a chila
  3. Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes, then flip. Cook both sides until golden brown.
  4. Once done, spread a little tomato ketchup on top, add the stuffing in the center, add grated cheese, and roll it like a wrap and serve. 

Another way to serve:

  1. Take a cooked chilla and spread mint-coconut chutney over it.
