Mooli Cheela Recipe | Healthy Mooli Cheela

Mooli Cheela- a quick and healthy breakfast recipe made with radish and flours.

Mooli Cheela is a quick and easy to make savoury pancake , which is a healthy and filling breakfast and a good tiffin option. During winter we get very nice variety of radishes’ and we mostly use them for making salad, parathas and pickles

Few day’s back I visited a friends’ house and she made these healthy and easy to make mooli cheela for us with tea. I like the taste and texture of the cheela and then tried at home and every one liked them at my place.

Mooli is a healthy vegetable , it is fill of Vitamin A, C, E, potassium, Calcium , rich in fiber , Zinc , packed with antioxidants’, it also improve digestion and enhance metabolism. It also helps to control body weight. Some people might find it hard to digest then they can add some carom seeds and asafoetida in the preparation or add black salt and pepper powder in the salad to help in the digestion.

I made this mooli cheela with wheat flour and some maize flour/ makki ka aata and for crispness I added some semolina. You can substitute maize flour with gram flour or ragi flour . you can also add some carrot in it for making it colourful.

Some finely chopped radish leaves or fresh coriander, green chilies, ginger, sesame seeds, grated radish and few basic spices are added in the batter. The batter should be medium thick and easy to spread, don’t make it too thick or thin else become difficult to spread.

You can also add flax seed powder , spirulina powder and moringa powder in it if you have them at home to make the cheela more healthier. You can add these healthy powders in any cheela you make it regularly at home, I always add these  in my cheela batter and chapati dough.

You can roast the cheela  with ghee, oil or butter whatever suits you. It stay soft even after it become cold so a good option to pack in lunch boxes. It taste good with dahi, chutney or ketchup.
