A chila is a North-Indian crepe made out of chickpea flour. You can have your chila with chutney or roll it around a stuffing like Tofu Crumble. Very simple to prepare, you can serve it for breakfast or for snacks.

ReplyDeleteNow that you've "taught" me how to make the sweet potato crepes, I'll have to try the Chickpea crepes with the tofu crumble. BTW: You can let Kristy of My Little Space know that Garbanzo Bean flour is the same as the chickpea flour and is available from Bob's Red Mill.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very healthy breakfast! I can't go into your blog when I click on your name in my my comment column. But I've done it before and there was no problem, just wondering.
