Whenever I am searching for something which is high in fibers, low in calories and carbs, I always opt for lentils. Mixed veg dhals, lentil soup and lentil pancakes are an instant hit with me. I have done other versions of lentil pancakes in past posts here and here. The pancakes that I am going to talk about today make for a great breakfast with a boost of protein and veggies. They taste really good and keep you full for a long time. Ingredients 1. Same quantity of yellow mung dal bean and channa dal. You can mix and match the lentils. I sometimes use white urad also. 2. Mix the lentils and soak overnight. Next morning drain and wash well. Grind to a fine smooth paste. Add water accordingly to make a smooth paste (neither thick nor runny). Add salt to taste. 3. 1 small onion finely chopped. 4. 1 small tomato fine chopped. 5. 1 small bowl paneer crushed. 6. green chilies finely chopped. 7. 1 bowl french beans finely chopped and steamed. I add little water in the bowl and microwave for 3 minutes and I get steamed french beans. 8. Salt and black pepper to taste. 9. Finely chopped green coriander. Procedure Damn simple. 1. Heat non stick pan with few drops of oil. Stick to 1 tsp oil for 2 pancakes. 2. Now pour the batter on the pan. Do not add lots of batter and make the pancake thick, come on we are on a diet and we cannot blow it by eating huge thick pancakes. So keep the thickness of your pancake medium. 3. Arrange the veggies on the top of pancake. Sprinkle salt and black pepper. Also sprinkle drops of oil over the veggies (so that when you turn the pancake the veggies will get a crisp texture) 4. Once the bottom side is cooked, flip the pancake and let the veggies cook for 2 minutes. The veggies are cooked if you are able to move the pancake. 5. Server hot. Treat your hunger with tasty low cal food. View attachment 144796 Enjoy!!!!.
Very nice version of dosa shiva, Is it okay if we consume urad dal frequently..provided it is loaded with lots of veggies and no high calorie chutnies
I do this with wheat bread. Pancake version is new Shiva and it will be filling too. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Suppala, Thanks for liking the recipe. I never left my dals because as a vegetarian my options are very limited. So, I consume all type of dals. I alternate them. You can make the same lentil with yellow mung dal and white urad dal. Any type of lentil should be soaked for atleast 12 hours and then drained and washed well. Lots of love Shiva
Dear Tulips, Its damn tasty as well. I love the taste, specially when the veggies and paneer get crisp. Thanks for liking the recipe. Love Shiva
Dear Mssunitha, Thanks for liking the recipe. Yes, it tastes yummy. Lots of love to you my friend. regards Shiva
