Critical Success Points

  • • Boil soya chunks properly to remove anti-nutrients.
  • • Do not squeeze out water from boiled soya chunks.
  • • Grind soya chunks to a smooth, liquid-like paste.
  • • Ensure batter is thick but pourable; do not add excess water.
  • • Cook chilla on low heat for 6-7 minutes per side to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.

Safety Warnings

  • • Be careful when blending hot soya chunks; allow to cool slightly to avoid steam burns.
  • • Use caution when flipping chilla to avoid splattering hot oil.
