Making moong dal chilla wrap is extremely simple. This recipe was shared by chef and content creator Saloni Kukreja. To make these wraps:
1. Prepare the Moong Dal Mixture
Rinse the moong dal 5-6 times until the water runs clear. Then, soak it for at least 1 hour or overnight. Once soaked, transfer it to a blender. Add chopped green chillies, water, and salt to the blender. Blend into a smooth batter and set aside.
2. Prepare Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add seasonings of your choice along with chopped garlic, chilli flakes, and a dash of milk. Whisk until well combined. Heat a nonstick pan and add a little butter. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble it towards the end.
3. Cook Chillas
Heat some oil in a nonstick pan. Pour a ladleful of the moong dal batter and rotate the pan to spread it evenly. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
4. Make The Wrap
Place the cooked moong dal chilla on a plate and make an incision from the centre. On one half of the chilla, spread basil pesto. Place sliced tomatoes on a quarter of the chilla and the scrambled eggs on another quarter. Fold the chilla like a wrap and enjoy!
