    Description

    This my healthy breakfast recipe. Chilla/dosa are Indian pancakes, and these are crispy, quick to make, full of protein, and taste great. These are made with moong dal (green lentil), quinoa and oats.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup Moon Dal (Green Lentil), Soaked Overnight Or At Least 4 Hours
    • ½ cups Quinoa, Soaked Overnight Or At Least 4 Hours
    • ½ cups Plain Instant Oats, Or Your Favorite Variety
    • 2 whole Large Green Chilies, Chopped, More Or Less To Taste
    • 1 teaspoon Grated Ginger
    • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
    • 2 teaspoons Salt, Or To Taste
    • 3 Tablespoons Water
    • Olive Oil, Or Your Preferred Oil, As Needed For Cooking The Pancakes
    • 2 teaspoons Sambhar Powder (optional), For Sprinkling On Batter

    Preparation

    Grind everything except the oil and sambhar powder into a thick smooth paste. Transfer the batter/paste into a large bowl.

    Heat a nonstick pan over high flame and add 1 teaspoon oil. Pour 1 heaping ladleful of the batter over the pan and swirl it, using the ladle to form a round shape. Sprinkle some sambhar powder (optional) over the top.

    Reduce flame, cook the chilla for 1-2 minutes, then flip. Add 1/4 teaspoon oil and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Then increase the heat to high and cook the chilla for 1 minute. Repeat for the remaining batter.

    Serve hot or cold, according to your preference.
