Instructions

  • Soak the whole moong dal in plenty of water for 6-8 hours. Drain thoroughly and grind to a coarse paste without adding water.
  • Take the ground dal in a bowl and add grated carrots,chopped bell pepper,sliced onions,grated ginger,chopped green chilli,salt and rice flour. Mix well.
  • Add 1/2 -3/4 cup water and mix well.
  • Heat a tava and take a ladle full of batter and spread into a thick small circle. Add oil generously to the sides and also in the center by making a dent.
  • Cook on medium flame for 4-5 minutes till the chilla becomes golden and crispy in the edges.
  • Serve moong dal chilla hot with chutney,pickle or sauce. I love to serve this with tomato pickle.
