Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Moong Dal Batter
Add 1 cup of moong (soaked overnight), 2 tbsp of curd, 2 green chillies, and a small piece of ginger to a blender. Blend until you get a smooth batter.
Step 2: Mix in Vegetables and Semolina
Pour the blended batter into a bowl. Add 2 tbsp of chopped capsicum, 2 tbsp of chopped onion, 2 tbsp of semolina, and 1/2 tbsp of salt. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3: Rest the Batter
Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for . This allows the semolina to absorb moisture and the flavors to meld.
Step 4: Add Eno Powder
After , add 1/2 tbsp of Eno powder and 2 tbsp of water to the batter. Mix gently until the Eno powder is fully incorporated and the batter becomes slightly frothy.
Step 5: Prepare the Pan
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick pan over medium flame. Once the oil is hot, add 1/2 tbsp of mustard seeds and 1/2 tbsp of sesame seeds. Let them splutter for a few seconds.
Step 6: Cook the Cheela
Pour a ladleful of the prepared batter onto the hot pan, spreading it evenly to form a round pancake. Cook on one side for approximately until the edges turn golden brown and the top appears set.
Step 7: Flip and Cook Other Side
Carefully flip the cheela using a spatula. Cook the other side for another until it is also golden brown and crispy. Repeat the process for the remaining batter.
