Oats Chilla Omelette Method
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add enough water to make a batter. Not to runny or the omelette will tear while cooking and not too thick or the omelette will not cook through evenly.
After adding water to the dry ingredients mix well and keep it aside for 5 minutes.
Cover the bowl with a muslin cloth in a cool place.
Add oil to a frying pan and let it heat slightly so that the batter doesn’t get stuck to the pan while cooking.
Add one tablespoon of batter to the hot frying pan and make a round shape with the back of the spoon. Not too big or the omelette will split while turning and not too thick or the omelette will not cook through evenly.
After a few seconds flip omelette and cook it on the other side.
After a few seconds flip it again.
Keep flipping every few seconds till it’s cooked thoroughly.
Serve it with pickle or ketchup or hot sauce or whatever you prefer.

Chapati Method
Take a large-sized bowl. Put two cups of flour along with a cup of water, salt and ghee in it.
Mix well and start kneading a dough.
Make sure that the dough is not too thick nor too thin. It has to be of a soft and pliable consistency.
Add water to get the consistency right. Keep kneading for a while.
Roll out few balls from the prepared dough. Place them on a flat surface flatten them further with the help of a rolling pin.
Keep using the flour in order to prevent the rolls from sticking to the surface.
Once the chapatis get the perfect round shape, place a pan on medium flame.
Once heated enough put the chapati on the pan and cook from both sides. Use a pair of tongs to flip over to the other side.
Keep the flame setting to medium because too much heat might burn the chapati.
Check for the little brown spots. Once they start appearing the chapati will start to puff indicating that it's completely cooked.
Once done transfer in a kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Serve along any gravy or curry or vegetable of your choice.
