Chilro is a popular breakfast dish from Sindhi Cuisine, made with Besan or Chickpea flour mixed with spices and vegetables to make a pancake.
Chilro is also called as Besan Ja Chilra or Besan Chila. As with many recipes, each household have their own version. Some add grated carrots or cabbage and can be eaten anytime of the day. When it served for breakfast, it is served with toast, chutney and Ketchup, more like a sandwich.
This is really quick to make and you get a feeling that you are enjoying oil free pakoras. I adapted from here and made it for my dinner.
What you want to add into the batter is completely your choice and I simply added what I had on hand. I have another version of Besan Cheela, which is also a quick dish to make.
