Instructions
Creating Moong Dal Chilla is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Soak the Moong Dal: Rinse the split yellow moong dal under running water and soak it in enough water for about 2 hours.
2. Drain and Blend: Once soaked, drain the dal and transfer it to a blender. Add a little water and blend until you get a smooth batter. Aim for a pancake-like consistency.
3. Add Spices and Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the blended dal with turmeric powder, cumin seeds, green chilies, grated ginger, chopped onion, chopped coriander leaves, and salt.
4. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or tawa on medium heat and add a little oil or ghee to grease the surface.
5. Pour and Spread the Batter: Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it gently using the back of the ladle.
6. Cook Until Golden: Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden brown. Flip the chilla carefully.
7. Cook the Other Side: Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden and crispy.
8. Repeat: Repeat the process for the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
9. Serve Hot: Serve the chillas hot with your choice of chutney or yogurt.
