Now heat mustard oil on a non stick pan and when the oil is warm, spread the batter in a circular motion
(I put 2 tbspn batter in the middle and then spread it with the back side of a bowl)
Spread some oil from sides to cook the chilla
Cookm it on a medium flame for 5 minutes
When cooked from one side, invert it carefully s that o cracks are there
Now spread some oil on the pan and cook from other side for 4-5 minutes on medium or low flame.
If you want you can also spread some grated cheese over the chilla and then fold it but i m not that much fond of cheese so i just avoid it.
