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. You can also make chilla using the same recipe but add little more water. Quick and easy recipe is below
Soak split Moong Dal in 4 cups of water for 3 hours, if you are short on time soak it in warm water
After 3 hours, strain the dal and grind it with green chilies, at this point add water as needed to form thick batter
Add shredded paneer to the batter
Add salt, asafetida powder and chopped cilantro to the batter
Warm the Waffle Maker for few minutes and brush with oil
Spread the Batter on the waffle maker evenly and cook the waffle by closing the top for 7 minutes
If you want it crispy, open after 7 minutes and apply some more oil and close the lid and cook for 5 minutes
Serve it along with Tamarind Dates Chutney
