Moong Dal Palak Cheela Recipe | Moong Dal Cheela with Spinach | Spinach Moong Dal Chilla

on


Palak moong dal recipe. Very healthy breakfast recipe spinach moong dal chilla is super quick and easy. Palak cheela is one of my kids favorite and I make it for their breakfast and after school snack.

Moong dal pakal chilla is also known as pesarratu in South India. To make this pakal chilla more crisp I have added rice to it.
In this palak moong dal cheela you can add variety of stuffing. I have stuffed it with paneer, onins and coriander leaves but you can also use cheese of potato mixture as stuffing.


You can call these crisp chilla as palak dosa. Making palak dosa is very easy. Just soak rice and dal for atleast 4-8 hours. Grind them to thick paste along with spinach and ginger garlic. Make thin dosas and stuff them with paneer, onions and coriander leaves.
You can also see a quick video for making tomato chutney. That goes very well with pesarattu as a side dish.
