Method
- Rinse and soak the moong dal for 4 hours.
- Drain the water and add dal to a mixer with ginger, green chilies, turmeric, cumin, and salt. Grind into a smooth batter using a little water.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl and mix in chopped onion and coriander.
- Heat a tawa, lightly grease it, and pour a ladle of batter. Spread gently into a thin chilla.
- Cook on medium flame until the base turns golden, then flip and cook the other side.
- Serve hot with mint chutney, tomato chutney, or curd.
Notes
For extra protein, you can add grated paneer to the batter. For a crispier version, cook on low flame for a bit longer.
