- Prepare the Batter. Gradually whisk in 0.75 to 1 cup water until you have a smooth, pourable batter, then stir in 1 cup grated beetroot and 0.5 tsp salt.
- Cook the Chilla. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the centre and spread it gently in a circular motion to form a thin circle.
- Crisp and Serve. Drizzle 1-2 tbsp oil around the edges and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set and golden-brown.
