The water should sizzle right away.Pour ½ cup of the batter mixture into the skillet and spread evenly with the back of a spoon. Starting from the center, spiral outward until evenly spread, about 6-7 inches in diameter.


When the batter begins to dry, gently spread 1/2 teaspoon of oil over it. 
Wait about 30-60 seconds, then flip the Cheela using a flat spatula.Press the Cheela lightly with the spatula all around to assure even cooking, turning those two to three times. **Cheela should be crisp and golden brown on both sides. Repeat for the remaining Cheela.
