Creative Sunday Breakfast: Healthy and Delicious Makki Atta Chilla( Maize Flour Pancack)

Hello everyone,
Winter mornings often bring laziness, especially when paired with light rain like today. Deciding on breakfast was a challenge, but my kids' special request inspired me to turn this Sunday into a "Creative Sunday" by preparing Makki Atta Chilla—a dish that's both delicious and healthy. Loaded with vegetables, it was a big hit with my husband and daughters. Here's the recipe for this wholesome delight:

1 cup semolina (suji)

1 cup gram flour (besan)

1 tsp pink salt (or as per taste)
