Fun breakfasts - the savoury version

on
This includes all kinds of Cheelas, savoury Crepes, Dhokla and Waffles. There were too many dosa recipes, so I moved them a separate page:

Moong-methi Cheela/Waffles with tomato chutney

Have made the cheela many times with a tomato chutney. Now planning to try their waffle-version as well. Recently bought a cast-iron waffle maker for this, hopefully Agni likes these, since she is not too fond of cheela.

  • 1 cup Moong Dal - soaked overnight
  • Salt, haldi, crushed ginger, heeng, green chillies, bhuna jeera
  • oil to brush on waffle maker

Use blender to mix everything together and make smooth batter.

Optional additions:
  • Vegetables like ghiya, potato
  • onion
  • corn
  • bell peppers
  • green leaves ke hara dhaniya, methi leaves, spinach
This link has a good suggestion of adding vegetables as a layer in waffle maker instead of pre-mixing to the batter.

Besan/Sattu cheela

Replace moong daal with besan/sattu to get a faster to prepare version.


Omelettes

The evergreen breakfast dish! Add spinach, microgreens, chillies, cheese, pizza seasoning, parsley, mushroom, onions... only imagination is the limit!

Cook grated potatoes like a hashbrown, and pour egg on top to get a Spanish (and my kid-friendly) version!
