Helthy cheela

 Cheela is like a pancake, salty, it may resemble a dosa, but yellowish, a little like adai , a well-known South-Indian snack-healthy as well. It is cooked on a tava like dosa. It is basically made with dals.

Ingredients

whole green moong dal 1/2 cup

chana dal 1/2 cup

arhar / tuvar dal  1/2 cup

black urad/ white urad dal 1/2 cup

salt to taste

besan   2 tbsp

green chilies to taste

ginger 1 " chopped

jeera/ cumin pdr 1 tsp

turmeric pdr 1/4 tsp

beetroot grated 2-3 tbsp

carrot grated  2-3 tbsp

cabbage grated  2-3 tbsp

onion finely chopped 2-3 tbsp ( optional)

you may use spring onion too

finely chopped coriander leaves  2 tbsp

oil for cooking

Method

wash and soak the dals together for 3 hours, grind with ginger and green chilies.

add salt, turmeric pdr, besan, jeera pdr and mix well.

the batter should be like idli or uttapam batter, if too thick add little water

mix salt and if needed little chaat masala with grated veges

heat a heavy tava on gas, once hot smear little oil, reduce heat, spread the batter evenly 

spread the grated veges on top, lightly press them down with the ladle, put little oil all over on top

once the bottom has become golden, turn it over, press it down, once the bottom gets brown take it out

repeat with the remaining batter.

serve hot with chutney of your choice or milagai podi also known as gun powder by some !

You can also mix the grated veges with the batter, depending on how many cheelas may be needed ! 

NOTE- those who want more flavour, after you flip over, spread some grated cheese or cheese slice on top, cover it, cheese will melt, serve hot like a pizza !l
