Instructions
Drain the soaked moong dal and transfer it to a blender.
Add ginger, green chilies, coriander leaves, turmeric powder, asafoetida, and salt.
Add a little water (about 1/4 cup) and blend to a smooth batter. Add more water if needed to achieve a dosa-like consistency (not too thick, not too thin).
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
Grease the pan lightly with oil or ghee.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it evenly in a circular motion.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the chilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is also golden brown.
Remove the chilla from the pan and serve hot with chutney or yogurt.
Notes
For a spicier chilla, add more green chilies or a pinch of red chili powder to the batter.
