Moong Dal Chilla - Moong Dal Chilla (1 pancake)

Keep the portion to 1–2 medium chillas and avoid stacking them with rice, bread, potatoes, or sweet drinks in the same meal.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables to the batter or filling, such as spinach, methi, cabbage, cauliflower, capsicum, mushrooms, or zucchini.

Pair the chilla with a protein-rich side such as plain curd, paneer, tofu, or egg; avoid sweetened yogurt and sugary chutneys.

Use a filling of paneer, tofu, spinach, or mushrooms instead of a potato-based filling.

Eat a salad of cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon before the chilla, then eat the chilla slowly.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal and avoid sitting continuously right afterward.
