Moong Dal and Paneer Chila

Preparation Time: 5 mins.
Cooking Time: 5 mins.
Makes 4 chilas.



Ingredients
½ cup yellow moong dal (split yellow gram) flour
½ teaspoon ginger-garlic chilli paste
a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
1/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp fruit salt
salt to taste

To be mixed into a topping
1/4 cup crumbled low fat paneer (cottage cheese)
2 tbsp chopped corriander (dhania)
1/4 tsp chaat masala

Other ingredients
2 tsp oil for cooking


Method
Combine the moong dal flour, ginger-green chilli paste, asafoetida, sugar and salt and add enough water to make a thick batter. Add the fruit salt and mix gently.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle), pour a ladleful of the batter on the tava and spread it evenly to make a thin pancake (approx. 5" diameter). Sprinkle a little topping mixture and cook on both sides over a medium flame, using oil.
Repeat for the remaining batter to make 3 more chilas.
Serve hot.
