नाश्ते में बनाएं चीज वाले मूंग दाल पैनकेक, बच्चों को आएगा पिज्जा जैसा स्वाद

Moong Dal Pancake Recipe: The biggest problem as soon as you wake up in the morning is what to make for breakfast today. Especially in homes where there are children, it is not easy to make something new and tasty every day. Children often demand to eat pizza, sandwiches or other spicy things for breakfast, while the elders of the house want them to get food which also has nutrition. If the same problem persists in your home, then this time you can try making a different kind of breakfast from moong dal. Moong dal is usually used to make cheela, khichdi or dal, but have you ever made small pancakes with cheese from it? Their taste is slightly different from normal cheela. Capsicum, carrot, onion and cheese are added to it, which makes it look good and also tasty to eat.

The special thing is that there is no need to use flour to make it. In this recipe given by Chef Parul, small pancakes are prepared by mixing moong dal with vegetables and some spices. Although, it is necessary to soak the lentils first, but if you do this preparation in advance, then it will not take much time to prepare them in the morning. Let us know the easy way to make moong dal cheese pancakes.

What is required to make Moong Dal Pancake?
To make this breakfast, first take one cup of yellow moong dal. Apart from this, keep one small onion, one small carrot, half green capsicum and grated cheese as per requirement. You can use mozzarella or processed cheese as per your choice. To enhance the taste, you will need chilli flakes, oregano or pizza masala, some ground black pepper and salt. To make pancakes light and fluffy, you can take one-fourth teaspoon baking soda or ENO. Apart from this, keep some oil or butter for baking.

First of all prepare the moong dal by soaking it.
To make moong dal pancakes, first clean the dal thoroughly. After this, wash it with water two to three times, so that dust and other dirt is removed. Now put the lentils in a big vessel, fill it with enough water and keep it soaked for about two to three hours. When the dal swells well, remove its excess water. After this, put the lentils in the mixer and add some water and grind them finely. Keep in mind that the lentil mixture should not be too thin. Keep it thick enough so that it can be easily poured onto the pan with a spoon and does not spread too much.

Now add colorful vegetables to the batter
After grinding the pulses, take out the prepared mixture in a big vessel. Now add finely chopped onion, grated carrot and green capsicum cut into small pieces. Mix these vegetables well. Adding carrots and capsicum gives a different taste to the pancakes and their color also looks good. If children do not like big pieces of vegetables, they can be chopped very finely and mixed. With this, the vegetables will mix well in the batter and there will be no problem while making pancakes.

Adding cheese will taste like pizza
Now add grated cheese to the prepared mixture. You can keep the quantity of cheese as per your choice. If you want more cheese flavor in the pancake, then you can use a little more cheese. However, adding too much cheese can make the pancakes heavy and greasy. Therefore it would be better to keep a balanced quantity. The taste of capsicum and spices combined with cheese gives this breakfast a pizza-like taste. This is the reason why this recipe can also become a good option for children’s tiffin.

Enhance the taste of pancake with these spices
After mixing vegetables and cheese, now it is the turn of adding spices to the batter. Add some chili flakes, oregano or pizza masala to it. After this add crushed black pepper and salt as per taste. Now mix everything well with the help of a spoon. If you are making this breakfast for children and they do not like spicy food, then you can keep the quantity of chilli flakes less. While making it for elders, the quantity of spices can be increased as per one’s taste. Keep in mind that cheese and pizza masala may already contain salt, so keep this in mind while adding salt separately.

Follow this method to make pancakes soft
If you want the moong dal pancakes to be soft and light from inside, then you can add one-fourth teaspoon of baking soda or Eno in the batter. It is better to add it just before cooking. After adding, mix the mixture gently. There is no need to beat too much. This will make the batter lighter and the pancakes may become more fluffy after cooking. Keep in mind that after adding soda or eno, do not leave the batter for a long time. For better results, start making pancakes immediately.

Make small pancakes on the pan like this
Now place a non-stick tawa or thick bottomed pan on the gas. Heat it on medium flame and apply some oil or butter on top. When the pan is hot, pour the batter with the help of a large spoon and make small round pancakes. Do not spread them too thin, because slightly thick pancakes become soft from inside. Put only as many pancakes as you can easily make on the pan at one time. Be sure to leave some space between them, so that there is no problem in turning.

Bake until golden on both sides
After adding the pancake, keep the gas flame low to medium. When the bottom part starts turning light golden and the edges are set, turn them carefully. Now apply some oil or butter and cook the other side also. Take care that the pancakes do not remain raw from inside. For this, it is important to cook them thoroughly on low flame. When both sides turn light golden and the pancakes are completely cooked, take them out in a plate. Similarly, prepare all the pancakes with the remaining batter.

Serve with chutney or tomato sauce
Serve the prepared Moong Dal Pancake with Cheese hot. Green coriander chutney, tomato chutney or tomato sauce can be given with it. Children like the taste of pizza, so they can also eat it with the dip of their choice. If you are packing it in a tiffin, then let it cool down a bit first, so that the pancakes do not get wet due to steam accumulating in the box. Apart from the morning, this breakfast can also be made in the evening when there is light hunger.

If you avoid these mistakes, you will make good pancakes.
While making moong dal pancakes, it is important to keep some small things in mind. First of all, soak the lentils thoroughly, so that there is no problem in grinding them. Do not add too much water to the batter at once, as the thin mixture may spread on the pan. Cut the vegetables finely, so that the pancakes can cook easily. Keep the quantity of things as per requirement. The most important thing is not to bake the pancakes on high flame. On high flame, the outside may brown quickly, while the mixture inside may remain raw. By keeping these simple things in mind, you can make delicious and soft moong dal pancakes at home.
