Corn and Besan Cheela is a Gluten Free healthy breakfast choice, it is one of those breakfast options I have grown up eating and one of our family favorites too. Cheela is the very Indian name for thin savory crepes made from various flours and seasoning but unlike crepes or pancakes no eggs are used in making Cheela. I learnt this recipe from my mother and always make it the way she taught me, though you can grind corn to smooth paste but like her I keep the paste chunky so that I can taste bits of corn in between Cheela, which I thoroughly enjoy.
