  • 1 cup soya bean (soaked and grinded)
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander (chopped)

For Moong Dal Chilla Wraps:

  • 4 cups soaked moong dal/ yellow split mung bean/ split yellow lentils
  • 2 ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • Cooking oil

Instructions


Prepare the Filling:

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
  3. Add finely chopped ginger, garlic, and green chilli. Saute until the raw aroma disappears.
  4. Add finely chopped onion and cook until it turns soft and golden brown.
  5. Add chopped capsicum and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes tender.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of garam masala and salt to taste. Mix well.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon of pizza pasta sauce and cook for another minute, allowing the flavours to blend.
  8. Now, add the soaked and ground soya bean to the pan. Mix everything together and cook on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the soya kheema absorbs the flavours.
  9. Finally, garnish with fresh chopped coriander and stir it in.

For Moong Dal Chilla Wraps:

  1. Soak 3 cups of moong dal (yellow split lentils) for 2-3 hours. After soaking, drain and rinse the beans thoroughly.
  2. Add the soaked moong daal to the blender along with 2 cups of water.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture has a smooth, pancake batter-like consistency. If the batter feels too thick, add an extra ½ cup of water to thin it out.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, lightly grease it with oil.
  5. Pour the batter into the centre of the tawa using a ladle and spread it in a circular motion to form a thin, even layer.
  6. Cook until small bubbles form and the edges appear dry. Around 2-3 minutes. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and flip the chilla over. Cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Remove the cooked chilla from the tawa and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

How to Assemble?

Now it’s time to assemble your chilla wraps:

  1. Lay one cooking moong dal chilla flat on a plate. Ensure it’s warm for easy folding.
  2. Spread mayonnaise and tomato ketchup evenly on the chilla.
  3. Now, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared soya kheema filling into the centre of the chilla. Spread it evenly across the middle.
  4. For extra flavour and texture, you can add a few fresh ingredients like sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and a drizzle of green chutney or yoghurt sauce.
  5. Fold one side of the chilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it like a wrap or burrito.
  6. Serve the assembled moong dal chilla wrap immediately with a dipped sauce or chutney on the side.
