How to make Chilka Roti Recipe (Jharkhand Style Rice and Lentil Roti)

  3. The consistency should be thicker than the normal dosa batter.

  5. Heat a skillet on medium heat, grease it with a little bit of oil.

  6. Pour a ladle full of the prepared rice and chana dal mix, spread it like a dosa, by making outward swirls with teh ladle.

  7. Pour a teaspoon of oil around and let it cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat or till done.

  9. Likewise, prepare the rest of the chilka rotis with the remaining batter.
