If you often crave a snack after the clock hits 4, resorting to a bag of chips won’t be a healthy choice. To make a high in protein and lip-smacking snack, make moong dal chilla in just 4 steps.
1 cup moong dal (soaked) 1 cup water 2 teaspoons oil ½ teaspoon ajwain ½ teaspoon red chilli powder ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder ⅓ cup chopped onions ⅓ cup chopped tomatoes 1 green chilli 1 teaspoon grated ginger ½ cup chopped coriander leaves Salt to taste
Take a bowl and mix soaked moong dal with ajwain, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
Grind with onions, tomatoes, green chilli, ginger, coriander, and water to make a consistent batter.
Heat a pan, pour a spoonful of batter, and cook both sides.
Repeat to make more chillas and enjoy with a chutney or ketchup.
