Baked Beans Cheela By ChefAnahita Dhondy
A cool new way to use Baked beans (which
are easily available) into a gluten free
pancake. Chila or Cheela is a classic Indian
eggless pancake made with chickpea flour
but I’ve incorporated the beans to give it that
extra boost of nutrition.
It’s easy and delicious. Do give it a try!
