Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Green Moong Dal
  • 1 Onion small to medium
  • 1 Green chilli
  • 1/4 tsp Red chilli powder
  • Salt as per taste
  • Water as per need
  • Oil as per need

Instructions
 

  • Wash and soak Dal in sufficient quantity of water for about 2 hours. Keep aside.
  • Roughly chop onion and green chili and keep aside.
  • Grind Dal with little water in the grinder. Don't make a smooth paste but grind it just coarsely.
  • 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.
  • Now add chopped onion, green chilli, salt and red chilli powder and give a good mix to the batter. Do taste the seasoning by just taking a bit of batter on your forefinger. It is important because once all your chillas will be ready, you will not be able to adjust the taste.
  • Place non stick tawa on flame and apply little oil over it.
  • Now pour 2 to 3 scoopes of ladle on tawa and spread it evenly with the help of base of ladle. Let it cook on low to medium heat.
  • Pour few drops of oil around and over the chilla and flip over it once it is cooked from downwards.
  • Cook from both the sides. Once it turns golden brown from both the sides, it is done.
  • Your Green Moong Dal chilla is ready to be served. Serve hot with tomato ketchup or anardana chutney or any other dip/chutney of your choice.
