"Food isn’t just fuel—it’s information. Feed your body the right message." – Dr. Mark Hyman

The Morning That Changed My Breakfast Forever


I remember the morning clearly. I'd been following a strict high-protein diet, including eggs every day. But soon, my body started talking back—bloated belly, weird hormonal breakouts, and that all-too-familiar post-breakfast crash.


I didn’t want to give up on protein. But I knew I needed something cleaner, lighter, and kinder to my gut. That’s when I discovered the high protein vegan magic of Besan & Hemp Seed Chilla.


This isn’t just another vegan recipe. It’s fast, nourishing, kid-friendly, and ideal for anyone chasing endurance, strength—or just a better morning.

💪 Why This Chilla is a High Protein Hero


Most people still believe that you need animal protein to build muscle or stay full. But that’s outdated thinking.


Here’s what’s inside just one serving of this chilla:


  • ✅ Complete Protein: Hemp seeds contain all 9 essential amino acids

  • ✅ Plant-based Iron & B-Vitamins from besan

  • ✅ Omega-3s to support hormones, joints, and brain

  • ✅ No Gas, No Bloat: Easier on the gut compared to eggs

  • ✅ Kid-Approved (with flavor tweaks below)


🚫 The Egg Dilemma (Why I Switched)


Eggs are healthy—for some people. But they can cause:


  • Gas or indigestion (especially if eaten daily)

  • Skin issues or hormonal imbalances (linked to biotin-blocking compounds in egg whites)

  • And honestly? Some days I just didn’t feel good after eating them


That’s why this vegan omelette alternative has become my new go-to.


👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step: How to Make Besan & Hemp Seed Chilla

No fancy ingredients. No expensive gadgets. Just a bowl, a spoon, and 10 minutes.

🥣 Step 1: Make the Batter


In a bowl, mix:


  • 4 tbsp besan

  • 1 tbsp hemp seeds

  • ¼ tsp turmeric

  • ¼ tsp salt (or kala namak for an eggy flavor)

  • Water – add gradually until it’s pancake-like consistency

💡 Tip: Add chopped onions, coriander, or green chili for a burst of flavor!


🔥 Step 2: Cook It to Golden Perfection


  • Heat a non-stick or iron pan with a few drops of oil

  • Pour a ladle of batter in the center and spread like a pancake

  • Cook for ~2 mins on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 mins

  • Look for a light golden brown finish


🧒 Want Kids to Love It?


  • Add a spoon of grated carrot or beet

  • Mix in a pinch of jeera (cumin) powder for aroma

  • Serve with a sweet chutney (like mango or tamarind)


Even picky eaters won’t know it’s loaded with plant protein!


🍽️ How to Serve It (Like a Pro)

Pair it with:

  • Mint chutney or peanut dip

  • A glass of coconut water or ginger tea

  • Or roll it up like a wrap with hummus inside


📌 Real Benefits, Real Fast


This recipe works not just because it’s fast—but because it respects your body.

  • Great for post-workout recovery

  • Easy on digestion and great for skin

  • Supports clean eating, without sacrificing protein


🌱 Why You Might Never Go Back to Eggs Again


You’re not just skipping the bloat—you’re gaining better skin, better moods, and better mornings.


Eggs may work for some people. But for many of us, a high protein vegan breakfast like this is a game-changer.


And the best part? It costs less than ₹20 a piece.
