Being a vegetarian certainly deprives you of the easiest form of protein - chicken and fish , so I am on a constant hunt to find new ways to incorporate more protein into what I eat. I sadly am not much of a dal chawal person either so the easiest way gets eliminated first :( but this recipe is my mom's and I LOVE it..tasty,healthy and easy...it works great for breakfast or kiddie's tiffin boxes as well. No time to soak and prepare the batter in the morning then make the batter at night and keep it in the fridge for the morning rush hour!
Am really happy with the response my earlier posts have got (blogspot has a great stats page) but I would be happier to know how the dishes you try turn out..so please leave a comment if you've tried something out...will also be doing some non-vegetarian posts once my guinea pig (read hubby) is back from his travels.
And by the way, this is not a pancake in the true sense, just sounds fancier than 'cheela' as that's what it really is:)))
1/2 cup moong dal (split dal, yellow in colour)
1/2 cup peas
1 teaspoon jeera
1 green chilli
1tablespoon ginger paste
1 garlic pod
1 onion, finely chopped
salt to taste
1. Soak the dal in warm water for an hour.
2. Grind the dal with all other ingredients(except onion) and approximately 1 cup of water to get a batter of medium thick consistency.Add the chopped onions to the batter
3. On a hot tawa (I use a non-stick tawa) pour a ladle full and spread into a thin circle like you would for a dosa. Put little oil along the edge.
4. Cover with a lid and cook on slow flame till the bottom side starts leaving the tawa.
5. Flip on the other side and cook till brown.
6. Serve with chutney or ketchup :0
7. You can also grate cheese or paneer if this is a kiddie breakfast.
