Moong Sprout Chilla Recipe is a Delicious and Healthy Protein Loaded Healthy Vegetarian Breakfast Recipe. A Savory Vegan Pancake Recipe made with mung bean sprouts or green moong.
Servings 6 Chillas
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Moong Sprouts 1 cup is 250 ml measurement
- 1/2 cup Besan or Chickpea Flour
- 4 nos Garlic Cloves
- 4-5 nos Green chillies
- 1 tsp Ginger paste 1 tsp is 5 ml
- 1 tsp Jeera or Cumin seeds
- 2 nos. Onions finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds 1 tbsp is 15 ml
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder or Haldi Powder
- A generous pinch of hing or asafoetida
- Salt to taste
- Oil as required to cook the chillas
- 1 cup Water to grind the moong sprouts + extra as required to adjust batter consistency
Instructions
- In a Mixer Grinder Jar, measure and add the moong sprouts.
- Add some water, chickpea flour, green chillies and ginger paste. Grind it into a smooth batter.
- Empty the batter into a wide bowl, add finely chopped onions, turmeric powder, hing or asafoetida, sesame seeds, cumin seeds and salt to taste.
- Mix the batter well and adjust consistency, if required, by adding some more water.
- Heat a dosa pan, season with few drops of oil and pour a ladle of the batter. Spread it clockwise and pour oil on all sides.
- Once the sides are cooked, using a spatula, turn / flip the chilla and cook over the other side. Serve with an accompaniment of your choice.
Notes
- I have added the chickpea flour while grinding. It is an easy way to make a lump free batter. You can add the chickpea flour separately too along with the ground sprouts too.
- Instead of adding sesame seeds, you can add flax seeds too.
- Some rice flour can be added to the batter to provide crispiness. Rice Flour is gluten free.
- Since this is an instant recipe, you don't have to rest the batter. You can immediately make the chillas once the sprouts have ground.
- You can add vegetables (finely chopped) to this recipe along with moong sprouts. Additionally, you can also add puree of leafy vegetables like spinach and/or beetroot. If you are adding vegetable puree, there won't be any need to add water.
- If you are packing these for lunch box or school, place a kitchen paper towel below and above the chilla's to avoid from getting soggy. You can also wrap them in eco-friendly wrapping paper.
