Most Simple And Easiest Way Of Preparing Moong Dal Chilla

Moong dal chilla is one of the healthiest breakfasts. Moong dal is rich in nutrients & dietary fiber. A single cup serving can provide between 40.5% and 71% of the recommended daily intake of the nutrient. This dietary fiber content helps reduce blood cholesterol levels, while also preventing dietary complications.

Instead of eating this in a form of dal every day, we can bring some variations in our intake, we can consume this during our breakfast, evening snacks, or dinner also.

I will be presenting many dishes with moong dal which are going to be tastier and healthier.

To begin with the easiest recipe MOONG DAL CHILLA.

Ingredients:

1 cup moong dal 

2-3 green chilies 

1-inch ginger 

Salt 

1/2 tsp jeera 

1/4 tsp ajwain 

1 small chopped onion

2 tsp coriander

1/2 tomato 

Procedure:

1. Rinse moong dal 2-3 times till the water turns clear. Soak dal for 5-6 hours before using. 

(if planning to prepare in the morning then you need to soak dal overnight)

2. Remove the water and transfer the dal into a blender jar with green chilies and ginger. Make a smooth paste by adding water to it. The consistency of the batter should be medium thick.

3. Transfer all the dal paste to a bowl, to it add ajwain, jeera, onion, tomato, salt, and coriander.

4. The batter is ready now. In case if you prefer eating thin chilla then the batter should be like dosa batter.

5. Heat a nonstick pan, apply little oil to it, and sprinkle water on top of it.  

6. Clean the pan with tissue or cotton cloth so the pan is greased. This would help to take out chilla easily and it becomes crispy.

7. Take 2 ladle of batter and pour into the center of the tawa keeping the flame low.

8. Spread it evenly with the same ladle in a clockwise direction immediately.

9. Apply oil around the batter and cook chilla on medium-low flame.

10. Flip chilla on the other side and cook it well for a minute.

Note: Before you pour the batter for the second chilla sprinkle little water and clean tawa with the same cloth or tissue. Follow this procedure before making each and every chilla.

Delicious Moong dal chilla is ready to serve. Can be served with coriander chutney or curd.
