Step 1— Preparing the Batter
1
Thoroughly wash the moong dal and soak it in water for 1 hour.
2
In a mixer jar, add the soaked moong dal, onion, green chilies, garlic, ginger, salt, and red chili powder.

Add the finely chopped onion and green chili, and sauté until lightly cooked.

Add the finely chopped paneer to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes.
5
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture, add chopped coriander leaves, mix well, and remove from heat.
Step 3— Cooking the Chilla
1
If the batter is too thick, stir in a little water to reach a spreadable consistency.
2
Heat a tawa (griddle). Pour a ladle of the batter onto the center and spread it out into a thin, even circle.
3
Drizzle a small amount of oil around the edges and cook until golden brown.
