Quinoa Flakes Cheela 

(Indian Savory Pancake)

This was inspired by the Ground Oats Cheela from August 30, of The Gutless Foodie on Instagram. Instead of using ground oats, I used ground quinoa flakes (which I ground up in a coffee/spice grinder), along with mustard seeds and some spices. I was glad to find a use for the quinoa flakes (that I was advised could add some protein to my diet). It was a very delicious use, too. 

(I'm adding links here to the company that makes these quinoa flakes, in case anyone is interested.)

Moong Dal Cheela (Indian Savory "Crepe")

These thin crispy Indian "crepes" are made of yellow split mung beans. The moong dal/mung beans are soaked and ground, and mixed with seasonings. I based these on the recipe of Veg Recipes of India. After the batter was ready, I let it sit on the counter for an hour or so, to ferment (and hopefully become lighter). The cheelas were light, and crispy (with not too much oil). I was glad it was a success!
