Moong Dal Chilla is a healthy, protein-rich Indian breakfast made with soaked and blended yellow moong dal, mild spices, and herbs. This gluten-free and vegan dish is light on the stomach yet highly nutritious. Perfect for weight management, diabetic-friendly diets, and fitness-focused meals, it pairs beautifully with fresh mint chutney.
Drain soaked moong dal and blend it with green chilli, ginger, cumin seeds, turmeric, salt, and a little water to make a smooth batter.
Add chopped coriander leaves and mix well. The batter should be medium thick (like dosa batter).
Heat a non-stick tawa and lightly grease it with oil.
Pour one ladle of batter and spread gently in circular motion to form a pancake.
Drizzle a few drops of oil around the edges and cook on medium flame until golden brown.
Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes.
For chutney: Blend mint leaves, coriander, green chilli, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
Serve hot chilla with fresh mint chutney.
