Tips - Avoid or go easy on adding green chili, ginger and garlic while making this chilla for kids under 3/4 years old. They will not like the strong flavor of these herbs. When i make this chilla for my daughter, i totally avoid adding ginger and green chili. I prefer a pinch of Kashmiri Red Chili Powder over green chili.
