Moong Dal Chilla in Kadhi

Kadhi is something that is generally liked by everyone. I experimented with kadhi by adding moong dal chillas instead of the fried pakodas to make it a little healthy. Moong dal provides all the richness of proteins and adding it to kadhi makes it more tastier also...!!!




Ingredients

For Kadhi
2 cup Dahi (Curd)
5 tsp Besan
2 tsp ginger and green chili paste
few curry leaves
1/2 tsp turmeric (haldi) powder
1/2 tsp cumin (jeera) seeds
1/2 tsp mustard (rai) seeds
1/4 tsp Hing powder
1 tbsp Oil
salt as per taste

For Chillas
2 cup soaked moong dal (at least for 2 hrs)
2 tsp green chili paste
1/2 tsp cumin seeds

Kadhi
