Stuffed Oats and Moong Dal Pancakes (Chila) Recipe

Posted on by GunjanGShandilya
imageStuffed Oats and Moong Dal Pancake : Batter for these pancakes has been made with rolled oats and soaked moong dal. I have used a stuffing of cottage cheese, chopped onion, coriander leaves, piri piri seasoning and salt.
These pancakes are a perfect  combination of healthy as well as scrumptious breakfast. Very less oil is required if you use a nonstick pan for cooking these pancakes. Moong dal , as we all know, is known to be powerhouse of protein and Oats are rich source of dietary fibre along with being a good source of protein. 
Relish these pancakes with coriander chutney for breakfast. Good news for all moms – it is a kid friendly recipe too. 
Yields: 6 Small Pancakes

Savoury Sprouts Pancake Recipe

Posted on by GunjanGShandilya

One day, I was just looking at my refrigerator and thinking for ways to finish green gram sprouts (which I do not relish). Savoury pancakes with gram flour and lentils are usually prepared for breakfast in indian households but I had never heard of anyone making pancakes with sprouts. So, I just decided to experiment by making pancakes. First experiment yielded an average pancake. I was not happy with its texture. So, I decided to add some (soaked) husked green gram along with sprouts. And, the result was deliciously soft pancakes.

It is an extremely easy and nutritious recipe for breakfast. These savoury sprouts pancakes cook very quickly as well.

Lentils have a lot of protein and when sprouted, there is an enormous increase in their nutrition in terms of protein, vitamin C, vitamin K, B group vitamins etc. Protein-rich breakfast gives you a perfect start for the day and keeps you full for a long period.

You can add vegetables like onion, assorted bell peppers, carrots etc. to make pancakes more healthy. Eat them with freshly prepared coriander chutney.

Serves : 4-5 Medium Pancakes

  4. Heat a non-stick tava and grease it with some oil.
  5. Pour some batter on tava and spread it by tilting tava.
  6. Sprinkle chopped vegetables on batter.
  7. Flip pancake when lower side is cooked.

  9. Flip the pancake again and cook top side with vegetables at low flame.
  10. Transfer pancake to a kitchen towel for absorbing excess oil.
  11. Serve with coriander chutney.
