Course: Main | Servings: 6

Difficulty level: Easy

Ingredients

For the batter

  • 70 g Mung dal, dhuli, raw, soaked and ground
  • 40 g Ginger, fresh, chopped finely
  • 5 g Green chillies, chopped finely
  • 5 g Rice, white, raw, flour
  • 3 g Salt
  • 0 g Onion, chopped

To make chilla

  • 10 ml Sunflower oil

Instructions:

For the batter

  • Grind soaked moong dal with a little water to a slightly grainy consistency.
  • In a bowl, combine ground moong dal, rice flour, onion, green chillies, ginger and salt. Mix well. Add water as required to get a thick pouring consistency.

To make chilla

  • Heat a tawa / griddle. Brush 1/2 tsp of oil on the griddle surface. Once hot, take a ladleful of the batter and pour it on the center of the tawa. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter evenly so it resembles a 9-10 in roti.
  • Using a teaspoon, drizzle ~1/2 tsp of oil around the edges of the chilla.
  • Allow the chilla to cook on low flame for ~1 min. Once the edges of the chilla start to brown, flip the chilla using a spatula and cook on the other side.

To serve

  • Serve hot with a coriander chutney or any other chutney of your choice.
