To make cooked rice pancake, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well to make a batter of dropping consistency using approx. 1 cup of water. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it with little oil. Pour a ladleful of the batter on it and spread into a circular motion to make a 100 mm. (4") diameter circle.

This sumptuous chawal ka cheela is a flavourful treat ready in minutes, especially if you have some rice leftover from the previous day! A unique batter of cooked rice, wheat flour and besan, perked up with loads of veggies and taste-boosters like green chillies, curds and asafoetida, gives you yummy and filling pancakes that are soft with a touch of crispness too.
