Zucchini ka cheela recipe is little bit similar with Besan ka Cheela. Zucchini cheela is Indian style zucchini pancake with chickpea flour (besan) and semolina (sooji /rava).In winters I get fresh zucchini in Delhi. My kids love zucchini paratha, zucchini raita and this tasty zucchini cheela. It’s a healthy breakfast recipe. You can serve this zucchini cheela with green coconut chutney , flax seeds chutney or plain curd.
