Healthy, tast and nutritious malai sooji ka chilla for babies 9 months+
Malai sooji chilla is nothing but a semolina pancake made with malai (not fresh cream* see notes) although you can make the same chilla with curd as well for a healthier version.
It’s perfect weight gain food for babies + the tasty Chilla and texture is so soft and creamy for babies.
It’s also perfect finger food for babies and toddlers. Plus a great light after school snack idea for kids.
Sooji chilla is so tasty and loved by all.
In every 1-2 days I am making this for my kids.
Directions to make Malai Sooji Chilla for babies 9 months+ –
Ingredients-
🔻2 tbsp malai homemade
🔻4 tbsp sooji/rawa
🔻2 tbsp mix veggies finely chopped (onion, carrot, capsicum, bell peppers, broccoli as per your choice or availability)
🔻Salt & pepper as per taste
Method-
🔻Mix all the ingredients and leave it for 5 mins
🔻The mixture should be not thick or thin. Just enough loose for spreadable consistency.
🔻Heat a tawa, add little oil and grease the tawa.
🔻On a low to medium flame add two tbsp batter and spread like a chilla.
🔻Let it cook till edges brown and the centre is mostly cooked.
🔻Flip and cook for 30 sec.
🔻Serve!
My chilla is stuck on tawa?
Grease the tawa well. Always spread chilla on a low heat and then increase to medium high. Also since we are using malai there is not much need to add oil.
My chilla keeps breaking?
Add 1/2 to one tsp more sooji in the mixture just in case it’s too watery. Loose batter will not let the chilla set and eventually while flipping it will break. Try making smaller discs rather thag one big chilla.
Can I use Fresh cream instead of malai?
No it will not result the same as malai and fresh cream are different.
What if I don’t have access to malai?
If you don’t have malai try the same recipe with curd. Recipe video-|

This is such a healthy suji chilla recipe for our little ones. It is so nutritious and a filling recipe. I am definitely going to share this with my cousin.
Ah wish I was 9 months toddler too, no this didn’t stop me to making this delicious and easy malai sooji ka chilla. I made for our brunch and my baby brother ate quite a few too (he is 26). Also sharing this recipe with my cousin who has 5 month old baby, I am sure soon she will start eating solid food so soon too.
Such a healthy and filling chilla recipe Avin. I shared your recipe with my son as he has two toddlers. They loved the chilla. My son was happy as the girls ate some veggies unknowingly:)
Sooji and malai combined to make chilla makes it more nutritious for kids for sure. I am sure malai must have added such an awesome flavour to chilla to appease the kids tastebuds.
It’s a wonderful share for mom’s of pickle eaters.
What a great idea to add some malai to increase the nutritional value of chilla. I made a quick batch last evening as an after school snack for my son and he loved it.
The recipe is perfect to make when my niece comes along this weekend. I am ging to collect up some malai meanwhile.
Its so healty and tasty recipe for babies. I like your recipe, your chillas look perfect and delicious.
