Moong Daal ka Chila


This is very quick and easy to prepare (if you have the paste ready) and highly nutritious. So, just do little preparation in advance and enjoy crispy chila in your breakfast or as a snacks in the evening.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of Moong Dal
  • Ginger
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • 1-2 green chili
  • 1 medium size onion
  • Coriander leaves
  • Spices (Salt, Turmeric Powder, Coriander powder)
  • Butter or oil

Procedure

  • Soak moong dal for 4-5 hours.

  • Grind the soaked dal with little water and onion, green chili, ginger, garlic, coriander leaves and make a paste. The consistency of the paste should be similar to dosa batter.
  • Now add spices like salt to taste, red chili powder and coriander powder. Mix it well.



  • Apply butter in pan in low flame and spread the paste as shown below. Use low flame, so that the paste spread properly. 
  • Let it cook till u see the brown corners and than flip it over. 
  • Serve hot with either ketchup or coriander chutney

Tips

  • Use Iron pan instead of non-stick pan. Iron pan gives slightly different texture and crispyness  and it is the healthier option.
  • You can also use sprouted dal to form paste, that will be more healthier
  • You can also use chopped onion, tomato or grated cheese or paneer as the filling for your chilla. That will give altogether a different taste.
