I didn’t post couple of baking partners challenges on right time. Thanksgiving is approaching and when Swathi and Suja came up with skillet bread recipes for this month challenge, I have decided immediately to make the savory skillet chili cheese cornbread version and on time I am posting it :-). This is such a great savory cornbread with chili/capsicum, carrot and cheese mixture. Also I have increased the quantity to fulfill my large cast iron pan, if you have 8 inch pan then follow the ingredients given under “For 8 inch pan”.

Ingredients
“For 13-1/4 inch cast iron pan”
Yellow Corn Meal/Makki ka Atta – 2 Cups
APF – 1.25 or 1and 1/4 Cup
