In a mixing bowl, combine besan, grated beetroot, grated paneer, chopped onion, green chilies, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the mixture to form a smooth batter. It should be thick but pourable. Adjust the consistency as needed.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and drizzle a little oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it gently into a circular shape. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift.
Drizzle a little oil on the edges, flip the cheela, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding oil as needed for each cheela.
Serve hot with green chutney or yogurt on the side.
