Moong Dal Chilla

1. Prepare Moong Dal

Rinse and drain the soaked moong dal thoroughly.

2. Blend Ingredients

In a blender, combine the soaked moong dal, green chilies, and ginger. Add water gradually and blend to create a smooth batter. The consistency should be pourable but not too thin.

3. Prepare Batter

Transfer the batter to a bowl and add salt. If you're using vegetables, add them to the batter and mix well.

4. Cook Chilla

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface with a brush or a piece of folded paper towel.

5. Pour and Spread Batter

Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan and spread it into a circular shape, similar to making a pancake or dosa.

6. Cook Until Golden

Drizzle a little oil around the edges of the chilla and let it cook until the bottom starts to turn golden brown and crisp. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

7. Flip and Cook Other Side

Flip the chilla carefully and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and golden.

8. Serve Hot

Remove the chilla from the pan and serve hot with chutney, yogurt, or any sauce of your choice.
