Mix all the ingredients, except oil, to a thick pouring consistency, adding little water only if required.
Leave to rest for 15-20 minutes. Heat a tbsp or so of ghee/butter in a frying pan, then pour it off into a container.
Keeping the heat high, pour some batter in the center of the pan, spreading it out a little. Lower the heat and let cook till the edges brown a little and can be lifted easily.
Dribble a little ghee/butter around it, turning the pan so the ghee/butter goes under the cheela.
Flip it over to cook slightly on the other side and before serving it hot with a green chutney.
