Eating Healthy - Moong Dal Chilla ( Pancake)

Moong Dal Chilla - My favourite Breakfast :)


Ingredients


Split green gram (dhuli moong dal)/ Whole Moong dal, soaked overnighte
Cumin (Jeera) powder - 1/2 tsp
Ginger chilli paste - 1 tsp
Tomatoes - 1 small
Onion - 1 small
Green Chillies - 2
Salt to taste
Oil for frying


Preparations
Drain and grind the split green gram in a mixer with diced onions, tomatoes, green chillies and ginger garlic paste. Add cumin powder, salt red chilli and garam masala for taste.
Grease a non stick pan with 1 tsp oil and drop in a ladleful of the green gram batter and spread it evenly with the back of the spoon.
Turn over the chilla and let it sizzle to golden brown on both sides.
You can make a stuffing of grated capsicum, paneer, onions, carrots or raddish, to make this nutritious dish even more healthy.


Tip: Let the pan heat well and then grease it sparingly all over with oil - this would help you use less oil and yet give you savouring taste and sizzling brown roast taste :)
Serve with Mint/ Tomato or Corriandor chutney.
Relish Moong dal chillas with buttermilk - My favourite combo. High on taste, great on tastebuds, easy on stomach, rich in protiens and low in * calories.
