#risenshine - These are delicious and nutritious Cheelas / Pancakes made out of moong dal (split green gram). They are a North Indian speciality and are usually served with chutney, pickle and a paneer stuffing which is optional. But it also goes well with any side dish. These cheelas are healthy, low in fat and good for diabetics too. Besides breakfast, they can also be had for lunch / dinner or as a lunch box meal too.
