I love warm and heavy breakfast. But need to eat high protein foods to maintain energy for the whole day and avoid weight gain. So I started having sprouts. But eating sprouts everyday became monotonous and thus arose the need to explore and try something different. So tried making sprouts chilla. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Cooking Instructions

Prep time- 12 hrs, Cooking time- 20 mins
  1. 1

    Wash and soak one bowl of Moong. After about an hour drain off the excess water and cover the moong with wet cloth and set aside for 10-12 hours for sprouting.

  2. 2

    Take the sprouts in a mixture container. Start by adding a small piece of ginger, 2-3 green chillies as per spicy flavour desired and 7-8 curry leaves. Adding curry leaves is optional. However for people who don't eat curry leaves otherwise this is a good way to consume it.

  3. 3

    Add salt as per taste. This step can be done after step 5 as well.

  4. 4

    Grind to make a thick paste. Be very careful while adding water. We don't want Dosa batter consistency. Just a thick paste is good for making the chilla. Take this chilla batter into a fresh bowl.

  5. 5

    Add haldi powder, dhaniya powder and red chilli powder as per taste. Mix the batter well.

  6. 6

    Adding hing powder is optional. Mix the chilla batter well for about 5 mins.

  7. 7

    Take a good non stick dosa pan and heat on high flame for a minute. Spread the batter in a thick circle with the help of a laddle. Add one teaspoon of fresh homemade butter, Makkhan. Cook until one side is brown for about 2 mins. Then flip the chilla with the help of a wooden spatula. Cook again for 2 mins.

  8. 8

    After 2 mins, take out the chilla and serve hot with your favourite green coriander chutney and tomato sauce!! Enjoy a healthy, high protein breakfast!!
