Moong Dal Chilla with Paneer Stuffing

Golden lentil crepes made from soaked whole moong, folded over spiced crumbled paneer — the paneer stuffing is what pushes this classic past the 20-gram protein mark. At 24g protein for just 320 calories, it earns its place as a fat-loss breakfast that keeps you full until lunch.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole moong dal, soaked 4 hours
• 50g paneer, crumbled
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 green chili, minced

2. Season the batter with cumin seeds and salt.
3. Spread a thin chilla on a hot oiled tawa and cook until the edges lift.
4. Scatter crumbled paneer, onion, chili, and coriander over one half.
5. Fold, press lightly, and cook another minute until golden.
6. Serve hot with mint chutney.
