Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Chilla' is Indian crepe dissolving bean flour in water and baking. Regular Chilla is healthy enough, but hardcore dieters/yogis 'sprout' beans taking days themselves before making batter. Sprouting process breaks down starch lowering carbs, conversely explosively increasing amino acids (protein)/vitamins, exerting overwhelming effect on muscle repair/fat burning—'living food (Sattvic diet)'.
