Prepare Moonglet or Moongdal Cheese Pizza Cheela
- For making cheela, Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
- Add a little oil and brush it to coat the pan
- When the pan is hot, scoop ladleful of prepared batter for each chilla and spread it out.
- Cook for a few minutes until bottom is golden brown and then flip and cook on the other side.
- Take it out and keep it aside.
- Now prepare another pancake or chila like this. When done spread a layer of fresh salsa over it and cut each cheese slice into 4 triangles.
- Arrange the cheese slices to cover the chilla. Also add grated mozzarella on top of it.
- Now place other prepared chila over this cheese layer and press it with spatula.
- Cook it on low heat from both the sides. Flipping occasionally and apply butter to cook it.
- Now when cooked from both the sides, place the remaining cheese slices over it and cover.
- Cook this till cheese is melted which will take 2-3 minutes.
- Now to serve I like to add a good sprinkle of chaat masala, some chilli flakes and some chopped coriander. Cut it into slices and enjoy and cheesy treat!
