(Moong Dal-Quinoa-Oats) Chilla/Cheela/Dosa/Pancakes

*-* Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner as a pauper *-*

We have all heard this before - But how many times do we really follow it specially the "eat breakfast as king" coz we never have time in the morning to make anything as we arlways late or rushing for things......hence mostly we end up eating cereal/bread/fruit.....our defination of a king's breakfast ;)

Long story short.....hence we are always looking for quick and healthy breakfast recipes not only to satiate our hunger but also provide us some part of our daily nutritional value and off-course the biggest reason - It has to be yummy in my tummy !!!

This is my healthy healthy breakfast recipe which is full of protein and great taste along with being quick.

It includes moong dal, quinoa and oats (I know - Sounds little shocking) but tastes really really good and crispy.

** The dough/paste can also be frozen for upto a week.
