To begin making the Bajra & Dal Cheela Recipe, soak whole green gram, channa dal, bajra and whole urad dal together in enough water for 5 to 6 hours.
Once soaked well, drain the excess water. Grind all the dals and bajra together along with ginger, coriander leaves and chilies in a mixer grinder to smooth batter adding little water at a time. The consistency of the batter should not be very think or very thick, but of smooth pouring consistency. Add salt, asafoetida and transfer the bajra & dal cheela batter to a mixing bowl.
To make the Bajra & Dal Cheela, preheat a skillet on medium heat and grease the skillet. Pour a ladleful of batter on the skillet and spread it in circular motion inside out to make a thin cheela/ crepe.
Drizzle a teaspoon of ghee or oil around the sides and inside and cook till it turns golden brown on both the sides. Once done, remove from the pan and serve. Proceed the same way with the remaining cheela batter.
Serve the Bajra & Dal Cheela along with Peanut Chutney, a glass of Masala Chaas (buttermilk) or ginger tea for a wholesome breakfast or dinner.
