Cucumber Chilla

Cucumber Chilla!

Yes, this is instant and easy peasy dish to make. Though sounds like a breakfast menu, but most of the time we relish it for our dinner. One dosa crazy family, we are ;) 

A few years ago during a girls lunch date, my friend made these scrumptious chillas for me. So much I enjoyed it, especially when she was serving crisp and hot , felt pampered. I ate countless chillas that day, and for the next time took the recipe from her and since then we as a family just love it :)
