GREEN MOONG DAAL CHILLA – YOUR ALLY FOR WEIGHT LOSS! Add variety to your Rotis. Go grain free some days a week. Children love it too. Serve it to them with home-made chutneys

Ingredients

Whole green moong dal (Green gram): 1 Cup
Water: 3 cups (for soaking)
Ginger: ½ inch
Garlic: 3-4 cloves (optional)
Sendha namak (rock salt): as per taste
Green chillies: 1 finely chopped (optional)
Green coriander: small bunch
Water: as per desired consistency (less than half a cup)
Cold pressed mustard/ groundnut oil – only a few drops to grease the tawa

Method

Soak the Moong dal (Green gram) in water overnight.
Rinse well.
Put the lentil, ginger, garlic and water in the blender.
Blend till you get a smooth paste. Add only little water as the batter needs to be of thick consistency (it will be coarser & thicker than dosa batter).
Add salt, green chilli & coriander to the batter.
Heat the tawa, sprinkle a little cold pressed oil to grease the tawa.
When hot, pour some batter on the tawa with a laddle & spread it into an even layer.
Cover with lid and cook on slow flame. The moisture will cook the chilla and you can flip over more easily.
Flip over and cook the other side.
Serve hot & enjoy with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, green chutney or any other chutney of your choice.
