Palak moong dal cheela recipe with step by step video. Healthy high protein breakfast recipe, spinach moong dal chilla is a super quick and easy dish to make at home.
Palak cheela is one of my kids’ favorite and I make it for their breakfast or sometimes after school snack. Moong dal palak chilla is also known as pesarratu in South India. To make this chilla or crepe more crisp I add rice to it. In this palak moong dal cheela you can add variety of stuffing. I have stuffed it with paneer, onions and coriander leaves but you can also use cheese and potato mixture as stuffing. You can call these crisp chilla as palak dosa and making it is very easy. Just soak rice and dal for 4-8 hours. Grind them to thick paste along with spinach and ginger garlic. Make thin dosas or chillas and stuff them with paneer, onions and coriander leaves.
You can also see a quick video for making tomato chutney. That goes very well with pesarattu as a side dish. If you are looking for more healthy breakfast recipes you may also try adai uttapam, moong paneer toast, non fried vada pav.
