- 1/2 cup Bell Peppers finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Coriander finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, red

Prepare the Moong Dal Batter
- Soak the moong dal in enough water for 3-4 hours. Drain the water and blend the soaked dal with ginger, green chilies, and salt until smooth.

- Pour a ladleful of the moong dal batter onto the hot pan and spread it thinly into a small circle using the back of the ladle.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully.
Assemble and Serve
- Once cooked, remove the chilla from the pan. Spread a thin layer of green chutney on the chilla.
- Add a spoonful of the paneer filling to one side of the chilla.
- Gently roll up the chilla, tucking in the filling.
- Cut the roll into smaller pieces and serve immediately with a cup of chai or coffee.
