Moong dal cheela with paneer

Light and nutritious, easy to make - these cheelas are perfect for breakfast or as an evening snack. Cheelas taste like South Indian adai but more on the lighter side like dosas.
I first tasted them at a friend's potluck party where one of my North Indian neighbors had brought them, along with green chutney. My immediate reaction after coming home is to google the recipe :-) I made a few variations to it and this recipe works best for me.
