While making the batter, mix it well and allow it to stand for five minutes, then mix again so it does not turn out lumpy.

Moong Dal Chilla is a healthier alternative though. It is lighter and more nutritious in comparison to Besan ka Chilla. You can make a thin crepe with moong dal, thinly sliced onions, and half a teaspoon of oil on a non-stick. Eat it hot off the griddle, or else it gets soggy, serve with fresh pudina chutney, and wash it down with a glass of jeera-flavoured buttermilk or lassi.
