Moong dal chilla (or moong dal cheela) is a quick, easy and healthy breakfast option. It is a savoury pancake prepared by soaking green moong dal and white urad dal overnight. This is the only pre-preparation that is required.

If you want to prepare the chillas for breakfast or to pack for lunch box, then you can soak the dals and also prepare the stuffing and store in air-tight container in refrigerator overnight. In the morning, you just need to blend the dals, prepare the batter and make chillas.
