Besan Tomato Omelette – Eggless Omelette Recipe – Vegetable Omelette Recipe Without Egg

Recently we tasted this eggless vegetable omelette in Hotel Saravana bhavan, Salem. We loved it. It was so soft with a nice flavor. When I asked the ingredients of this vegetarian omelette without egg, waiter told its made of besan flour/Kadalai maavu, tomato, onion and pepper powder. I reminded about our North Indian besan cheela recipe and told the same to Sendhil. Simply we can call it as besan dosa / Kadalai maavu dosai ;).  As Sendhil liked this dosa very much, I tried to recreate the restaurant style vegetable omelette at home. Its a super easy and quick recipe that can be prepared under 10 minutes for breakfast or dinner. Ideal for working women and bachelors. Usually Green chutney is served as side dish for cheela but I served it with tomato thokku/ bhaji. It also tasted good. Friends, do try this easy, yummy, instant besan cheela recipe for your breakfast and share your feedback with me. Lets see how to make besan chilla recipe with step by step pictures.

In a wide bowl, take all the ingredients except cooking oil. Add the required water. Mix without lumps. Consistency of batter should be slightly watery than regular dosa batter. It depends on the thickness of cheela. If you like thin cheela, make the batter watery else thick. Heat an iron dosa pan(for best results) or non-stick dosa pan. Pour a ladleful of batter. Spread it well. Drizzle a tsp of oil around the dosa. Cook both sides in medium flame till golden. Remove in a plate and enjoy serving hot ! You don’t need any side dish for this dosa. If needed, you can have with green chutney or pickle.

Addition of curd is optional but it helps to make the dosa soft. If you skip curd, rest the batter for 30 minutes before making dosa. If you want to make thin cheela, make the batter slightly watery. Rice flour is not necessary. You can also refrigerate this batter and use it for 2 days.
