Preparation time
10-15 minutes (excluding soaking time)
Cooking time
10-15 minutes (excluding soaking time)
Serves
5 - 6 people
Container size
700 ml
- 1 Cup Yellow Moong Dal
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 green chilies
- A pinch of cumin seeds
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup water
- Wash and soak the yellow moong dal until the water runs clear, then let it soak for an hour.
- Once soaked, drain the water and add the dal to a BlendLab Pro 2.0 blender along with ginger, green chili, cumin seeds, salt, and water. The 1200W copper motor of the BlendLab Pro 2.0 ensures the smoothest batter for your cheela.
- Transfer the batter to a bowl and stir to ensure the consistency is correct (not too thin).
- 1 medium-sized carrot, grated
- 1/2 medium-sized cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 medium-sized capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- A handful of fresh coriander, chopped
- A handful of spring onion greens, chopped
- 250 grams paneer, grated
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- Finely chop all the vegetables or pulse them in a food processor for even chopping.
- Combine the chopped vegetables in a bowl with grated paneer, fresh coriander, and spring onion greens. Mix well.
- Salt to taste
- A pinch of black pepper powder
- Ghee as required
- Heat a tawa (flat griddle) on high heat until hot. Sprinkle water on the surface to test; it should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the tawa and spread it into a thin circle like a dosa.
- Spread the prepared topping evenly over the cheela. Press gently to ensure it sticks.
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the topping, and drizzle ghee around the edges and on top.
- Cook on medium heat until the bottom turns light golden brown. Flip the cheela carefully and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Flip back, roll the cheela, and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into pieces.
- Serve the moong dal cheela hot with green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney.
