Actually we soaked Green Moong Dal for preparing Dal but due to some reasons, the plan of having the lunch at home was cancelled today. But as the Dal was already soaked, so decided to made these delicious and easy Green Moong Dal chillas. This is such a lovely, yummy and healthy recipe to try for sure.

- Transfer grinded dal in a bowl and adjust the consistency with water, if needed. Batter should not be too thick and also not too thin at the same time. It must have a pourable consistency.
