Making soft, nutritious chillas for infants

If your baby finds dal or besan chillas too dry, you can improve the texture by adding moisture-rich grated vegetables like carrots, bottle gourd (ghiya), or tinda. Soaking dals for 2-3 hours before blending helps create a smoother batter, and letting the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes ensures softness. Try blending the batter with tomatoes, onions, or coriander, and use a non-stick pan to ensure the chillas stay thin and easy to swallow.
