Moong Dal and Paneer Waffles | Moong Dal Chilla Waffles
Moong Dal Chilla Waffles are derived from the Moong Dal Chilla. The Cheela are our go to for weeknight meals. It is healthy and contains protein and so filling. I love this dish when I am watching my calories and also when I want to give a high protein meal to my son. I kept it simple and added panner and cilantro but you can choose to add more veggies.
