Let's Get Cooking!

- Adjust the batter consistency with water, ensuring it's not too thick or too thin.
Step 3: Heat the Pan

- Once hot, pour a ladle full of batter onto the pan, spreading it in a circular motion to form a thin cheela.
Step 4: Add the Filling

- Press the filling gently into the batter.
Step 5: Cook and Flip
- Drizzle some oil around the edges of the cheela.
