Savory Moong Dal Rice Pancakes (Dosa or Cheela) | Minimalist Bakery Recipes
Cheelas are similar to dosas in taste texture (thin and crepe-like) and presentation but do not require fermentation and are usually made from chickpea flour (here's a more traditional example of a cheela).
We experimented with fermenting our crepe batter but found that it had no noticeable effect on the flavor or digestibility. However this is the more traditional approach and we’ll share tips for fermenting it if you have time! For the curious you can dig deeper into the origins of dosas here.
So whether you want to call them a moong dal crepe cheela or dosa as long as you have moong dal (or other lentils) and brown rice on hand you can make these easy 6-ingredient crepes!
