Now add water two teaspoons at a time and prepare gram flour batter. The batter should not be too thin or thick.
Put a non-stick pan on medium heat. Once the pan is hot, pour some refined oil and spread it all around. Now take gram flour (besan) batter in a bowl and pour it in the centre of the pan and spread it around. After this, sprinkle grated cheese all over the cheela and press it lightly with the help of a spoon.
Now, sprinkle some chaat masala on top. Flip the cheela and apply oil on the other side. Fry it, till it becomes golden brown and crispy from both the sides. Now, take out the cheela on a plate.
