  1. 1

    Take chilka moong dal in a colander and rinse under running cold water until water runs clear. Alternately, you can rinse the lentils in a bowl by changing the water 2-3 times or until the water is not cloudy anymore.

    Soak in enough water for at least 8 hours or overnight. Lentils will get more than double in size. Discard the soaking water.

  2. 2

    Take soaked moong dal in a blender and add remaining ingredients (ginger, garlic, green chili, salt, hing, cumin seeds, cilantro and water. Grind into a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    It should not be too thick or too thin. The batter has to be medium thick and runny consistency just like dosa batter.Now add red chili powder and salt mix well.

  4. 4

    Heat the cast tawa/skillet on medium heat. Spread oil on it. Pour small portion of batter for mini chilla.Drizzle some oil around the edges and also on the chilla. Let it cook.

  5. 5

    Once it is cooked from the bottom, the edges start to loosen from the tawa and so you can easily flip it. So flip and cook another side for a few seconds. Serve split green gram dal chilla hot/warm.
