CHEESY BESSAN CHILLA WITH ONION.



Children's Day is recognized on various days in many places around the world, to honor children  globally. It was first proclaimed by the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in 1925 .
Universal Children's Day takes place annually on November 20. First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children. Children's day in India is celebrated on Pandit Nehru's birthday as a day of fun and frolic, a celebration of childhood and Nehru's love for them .   
Today is 14th November and to mark this occasion, I present this simple but tasty recipe for children . I usually make this for my boys. They love it!!

 Don't make the chilla very thin . It should be medium thick. Add sliced onion over the chilla .Take oil in a teaspoon and spread it around the side of the chilla. Turn the chilla . Add oil on the sides . Let the onion turn a little brown. After it is done , remove it on to a plate. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chilla when it is still hot.
