Moong Dal Cheela (Split yellow gram pancakes)
Moong dal cheela is very nutritious, tasty and very filling
option for breakfast. It is very healthy and good option for everybody including kids as moong beans are high in protein and also good for diabetes
patients.
This recipe is easy to make, does not need much
ingredients and can be prepared with easily available things at home. There is another famous recipe from Andhra Pradesh that is
similar to this recipe called Pesarattu, which is made from whole green moong
dal and small amount of rice. I will share recipe for that soon too.
Ingredients
For Cheela (makes 8-10 cheela)
- 1 cup Split yellow gram (Moong Dal)
- 3 green Chili big
- 1 inch Ginger peeled
- 1 tsp. Cumin seeds
- 2-3 tbsp. Gram flour (besan)
- 1 Pinch of Asafetida
- Salt to taste
For filling (enough for 3-4 cheela)
- 2 tbsp. Crumbled Paneer
- 1 tbsp. chopped Onion
- ½ tsp. chopped green chili
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of Red Chili powder
- Pinch of Garam masala
- ½ tsp. Cumin seeds
Method
- Now add besan to the batter, it will work as a binder and you should not see any water running from sides after adding besan
- Heat a nonstick pan and season it with a little oil
- Sprinkle a little oil on top for crispiness, let it cook on medium high flame, check if the sides start to come out
Note:
- Gram flour (besan) gives crispiness and right consistency to the cheela batter but it should be added in right amount otherwise it will cause dryness to the batter and hence dry cheelas
- Addition of stuffing is completely optional, you can enjoy plain cheela as well
- Salt should be added after the grinding of dal for proper frothy batter
- Do not add too much water at the time of grinding, it will make batter runny
