Rajasthani
Besan chilla curry is a traditional recipe usually made in our home. I also
prefer making this dish when I am out of veggies. It is curd based gravy with
savory gram flour pancakes. To make pancakes or besan chila, you can check the
recipe here.

I am with something which I wanted to post for very long time; Chilla ki sabji as we call. It’s a great
side dish with roti/paratha or rice and quite easy to make.
It’s
best served in winter or rainy days, and it’s raining here. So let’s go
straight to the recipe.
Step by step
Rajasthani Besan chilla curry recipe:
- In a big bowl, take 1 cup curd and ½ cup water and Wisk until smooth.
- Add 1 tbsp. besan (gram flour), ¼ tsp turmeric powder and salt as required. Mix well until it is lump free.
- Now take a thick bottom pan and add oil/ghee. When the oil is hot enough, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds and chopped green chili.
- Once the seeds start spluttering, add the fennel seeds, curry leaves, hing and red chili powder.
- Now pour in ½ cup water immediately.
- Now add the curd (dahi) mixture. Sir continuously till the mixture starts boiling. Keep on stirring otherwise the yogurt will curdle.
- Once
the curry starts boiling and you smell a nice aroma, simmer the gas for 4-5
minutes so that it gets cooked well.
- Add 1/4 tsp garam masala.
- Cut chilla into small pieces and add the pieces to the hot curry.
- Turn
off the heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot and immediately with roti or paratha.
