#breakfast #snacks #variety #chillas #healthyandfastdishes

Ingredients: 2 cups of mogar/ yellow lentils washed and soaked at least an hour before, 1 garlic clove, 2-3 green chillies, 2 cubes of ginger approx 1cm each, 1 tsp asafoetida, 12-15 curry leaves, 2 cups grated carrot, salt to taste. 1/2 tbsp oil

Recipe:

1. Drain off the excess water in soaked mogar and add it to a mixer pot. Add chillies, garlic, ginger and curry leaves to this and grind to a thick paste.

2. Transfer it to a bowl and add about 1 tbsp water to make a consistent paste. If it is still very thick,  then add little more water and stir well. Repeat till you get a consistent batter. It should be thick not thin.

3. Add asafoetida and salt to taste. Mix it well.

4. Heat a pan on medium flame and sprinkle a few drops of oil on it. With the help of table spoon or small ladle, pour portions of batter to accommodate 2-3 chillas in one go. Spread the batter immediately and add grated carrot over it evenly. Sprinkle a few drops of oil on each of chilla top and turn over after a minute. Repeat the process till chillas get cooked properly.

5. Garnish with coriander and serve it hot with tomato ketchup or chutney..
