Besan Chilla with Hung Curd

The eggless protein pancake of Indian fitness kitchens — gram flour whisked with hung curd for extra protein and a tangier, softer crumb. With an even balance of protein and carbs at 300 calories, it slots neatly into a maintenance day without crowding out the rest of your macros.
