What's up guys! Sanjyot Keer here. Welcome to YFL.
I am making Moong Dal Cheela.
And we will add an amazing mixture to this Cheela
which makes this Cheela very delicious.
And the best part is that it is made very quickly.
We make a yellow Moong Dal batter for Cheela.
After that, I chop a lot of vegetables in a chopper
and then mix it with a lot of Paneer.
So, it becomes a mixture of vegetables and Paneer.
Then we make a Cheela and load the mixture on top of it
and then cook it properly.
And very quickly, this delicious Cheela is ready.
And one more best part is that you eat Dal in this
with a lot of vegetables and a lot of Paneer.
It is a very balanced recipe.
It is perfect for breakfast.
You can have it for lunch as well.
Or you can have it for breakfast in the evening as well.
If you eat one Cheela, it will fill your stomach.
And it is healthy as well as delicious.
So, when this recipe is made using green Moong Dal instead of yellow Moong Dal,
it is called Pesarattu in South of India.
Which is a Dal Dosa.
So, there are different names for it in different places.
But the recipe is similar.
Which is very delicious.
So, there are different versions of it as well.
I will tell you what you can make in this video.
And if you haven't subscribed to YFL yet,
then subscribe to the channel as soon as possible.
So that you can watch more such beautiful recipes on YFL.
Now, first of all, let's see how to prepare the batter for this Cheela.
So, here I have taken 1 cup of yellow Moong Dal.
You have to wash this Dal properly.
And after washing it, soak it for 1-1.5 hours.
Here, I had washed and soaked the Dal.
This way, your Dal will get soaked.
Now, you have to discard this water.
And then you have to transfer the Dal to a mixer grinder jar.
Along with that, 1 inch of Ginger.
2 Green Chillies.
1 pinch of Cumin.
Salt as per taste.
And 1/4 cup of water in it.
And you have to prepare a fine batter for this.
If you feel that you have to add a little more water,
then you can adjust.
So, you can see this batter.
I have ground it.
Transfer it to a bowl.
Mix it well.
After mixing, you can see the consistency of the batter.
It should be of this consistency.
If you feel that the batter is too thick,
then you can add a little more water to it.
And you can see that our Cheela batter is ready.
So, you saw how easy it is to make Cheela batter.
You have to soak the Dal for 1-1.5 hours.
So, soak it first.
And then you just have to grind it
by adding some basic ingredients.
And the Cheela batter is ready.
You don't have to ferment it.
As it is, the Dal batter is difficult to ferment.
So, you can use this Cheela batter directly.
You don't have to rest it.
Now, as I told you earlier,
instead of Yellow Moong Dal,
you can use Green Moong Dal.
Or you can make a mixture of two Dals,
like Green and Yellow Moong Dal. Mix it and make it.
Moong Dal soaks quickly.
And it is easy to digest.
It is very light compared to Toor Dal or Chana Dal.
So, you can make the batter this way.
And as I told you earlier,
in the Pesarattu which is a Dal Dosa,
Green Moong Dal is used.
But you can make it that way too.
You can make it using only Green Moong Dal.
So, our batter is ready.
Now, let's see how to make a quick mixture in 2-3 minutes to topping the Cheela.
In a chopper, take a medium-sized Carrot,
1/2 medium-sized Cabbage,
1 medium-sized Capsicum,
1 inch Ginger,
and 2 Green Chillies.
And chop all the vegetables together.
If you don't have a chopper,
you can also grate all the vegetables.
So, as you can see here,
I have chopped the vegetables.
This is how your vegetables should be chopped.
Transfer these vegetables to a large bowl.
Also, I am adding 250 grams of Grated Paneer.
Grate the Paneer using the thick holes in the grater.
If you grate it using the thin holes,
the Paneer will get mashed.
We don't want to mash the Paneer too much.
Add a lot of Freshly Chopped Coriander,
and a lot of Freshly Chopped Spring Onions.
Mix all the ingredients well
at the stage where you don't want to add salt.
And as you can see,
our topping is ready for our Cheela.
We have made a very healthy topping.
We have taken a lot of different types of vegetables,
and we have also taken a lot of Paneer.
So, it also adds protein.
Dal has a little protein,
and Paneer also adds protein.
We have added a lot of vegetables.
You can take the vegetables of your choice.
Use the vegetables that you like.
The vegetables that you will use,
those that won't cook on the Cheela,
you have to blanch and add them.
If you are using corn,
then blanch it a little and add it.
You can also add chopped Broccoli,
blanch it and add it.
You can add the vegetables that you like,
and you can make the filling a little different.
Today, I am keeping the filling very basic.
I am not adding any spices to it.
I will just add salt and black pepper on top.
I have not added salt at this stage
because the vegetables release their water.
So, we will add salt directly on top of the Cheela.
So, this is a basic process.
You can add Peri Peri Masala to it.
If you have Podi at home,
then add some Podi to it.
You can add any flavor you want to it.
So, our filling is ready.
Our batter is also ready.
Now, let's see how to make Cheela from this.
Take a pan and heat it well.
Don't make Cheela on a cold pan.
Once the pan is hot,
sprinkle some water and check it.
The water should sizzle,
which means the pan is hot.
Wipe off the water.
Now, you have to keep the gas on medium-low flame.
Then, fill a ladle and add the Cheela batter in the middle.
Spread it evenly.
Don't make it too thin.
Spread it evenly.
Then, take the mixture of vegetables and Paneer.
Distribute it evenly.
Spread it evenly.
After spreading it,
press it with your hands or a ladle
so that the filling sticks to the Cheela.
Add a pinch of salt on top.
Add some freshly ground black pepper.
Add some clarified butter on top.
You can also use oil or olive oil.
Now, cook the Cheela on medium-low flame
until it turns brown from one side.
Once the Cheela is cooked from one side,
take it out and flip it over.
You can see that the Cheela has turned
crisp and brown.
Press it from the top and cook it well
so that the vegetables and Paneer
are cooked from the other side
and it gets a little bit of color.
Once you have cooked the Cheela from the other side,
flip it over.
You can see that all the vegetables are cooked well
and there is a little bit of color.
Now, we will fold it.
You can see that I have folded it like this.
Fold it and take it out.
After taking it out,
I am cutting it into pieces to serve it.
You can see that I have cut it into pieces
so that you can easily eat it.
Our Moong Dal Cheela is ready.
Let's plate it, YFL style.
