Pre-preparation

1. Combine the soaked moong dal, salt and chili in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the spinach puree to the mixture and stir well.
2. Heat a pan (tava), sprinkle a little water on it and wipe it off gently using a muslin cloth. Pour a ladle full of the batter on it and spread it in a circular motion to make a thin circle. Cook on a medium flame till it turns brownish-green in color.
3. To prepare the filling, simply combine the carrots, tomatoes, coconut, coriander, microgreens and salt. Fill your cheelas with this filling, and serve immediately with green chutney.
