I started a busy weekday today. Lot of work to be done. Had no clue what to prepare for breakfast. Took a strategic timeout (IPL fever..what to do 
) Gave a push to my brain cells. I had besan in my kitchen. We generally prepare marathi style pancakes with besan and rice flour. So tried this combination using potato topping. Within minutes this tasty dish was ready. Had a great morning with tummy full.
So try this and hope you all like it.
Sending this entry to the Pancakes event by Priya and also to the JFI- Breakfast event hosted by Suma and thanks to Indira for starting this Jihva event.

Besan with potato i have never tried making chilla with this combo.. but absolutely tempting one dear. Looks so good that i can grab from the screen.
Thats a fantastic and filling chillas Deepa…Really missed u all…Thanks for sending to my event..
Toppings are a great idea for the chila! Do you know about the event on my blog? This would be perfect for it, check it out.
oh this reminds me of dhirade, doesn’t it? the topping of potato is new to me though.. looks so delicious and a very nice click.
Hi Deepa,
So quick breakfast, and I liked the potato topping, My hubby will always be back of me to give potato to children in one or other form. So one more best way to feed my kids the potato.
Must try this, but I want to use moong dal flour as I do not like besan much.
Thanks for sharing.

Deepa, last week I saw these and left a comment! Love the way you created a indian pancake apart from the regualr dosas.
Deepa, good idea to use potato as topping. i use onion, tomato topping on besan chilla. My hubby would drool over this one as he is a potato lover.
I’d love these for breakfast
Hey this is a wonderful breakfast idea! Thanks for sharing. Will try it soon.
