## Notes

* Firstly, make sure to squeeze out the palak and other vegetables to release water.

* Also, adding rava gives a nice texture to the chilla. however, you can just prepare using the besan.

* Additionally, i like my chilla to be slightly tangy, so i have added curd.

* Finally, **Palak Chilla Recipe** tastes great when served hot or packed in a lunch box.
