besan chilla sandwich recipe | bread chilla sandwich | Indian pudla sandwich | cheela sandwich tiffin recipe is a filling snack for growing kids. Learn how to make bread chilla sandwich.
To make besan chilla sandwich, first make the chila. Combine all the ingredients along with approx. ¾ cup of water in a deep bowl and mix very well till no lumps remain. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it lightly using oil. Pour a ladleful of the batter on it and spread it in a circular motion to make a 100 mm. (4”) diameter circle. Smear a little oil over it and along the edges and cook on a medium flame till the chila turns brown in colour. Flip over and cook on the other side as well. Repeat steps 2 to 5 to make 6 more chilas. Keep aside to cool completely.
Then to make bread chilla sandwich, place 2 bread slices on a clean, dry surface, apply little butter on it, place 1 chila on a bread slice, spread 1 tbsp of tomato ketchup evenly over it and finally cover with another buttered bread slice with the buttered side facing downwards. Cut the sandwich diagonally into 2 pieces. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make 6 more sandwiches. Wrap them in an aluminium foil and pack in a tiffin box.
It is surprising how two contrasting items – traditional chila and whole wheat bread slices – work well in harmony to create a satiating sandwich! While you are sure to have had chila before, you would never have thought of using it as the stuffing for sandwich to make bread chilla sandwich!
Interestingly, the rustic flavour of besan, the crunch of veggies like tomatoes and onions, and mild spice powders used to flavour the chila act as a nice filling for the sandwich, somewhat like the patties in a burger! While chila by itself might dry up when packed for tiffin, the cheela sandwich tiffin recipe remains moist and flavourful for at least four hours, so it can be comfortably packed in the snack box.
Along with Indian pudla sandwich, pack some banana pepperw afers in another tiffin for a crunchy bite.
Tips to make besan chilla sandwich. 1. You can use regular white bread slices instead of whole wheat. 2. You can also spread green chutney after applying butter on the bread slices. 3. You can also use toasted bread slices instead of plain bread slices to make sandwich.

? this chila sandwhich has made things so easy and simple, as its just mix all together with some common veggies at home, but i added little chopped green chillies. I love this for a lovely tiffin snack, it doesn''t get moist or soggy. But instead remains fresh as just made. The most important is to pack it in a foil.
