Mag ni Dal no Chilo / Whole Lentil Savory Crepes , are savory crepes prepared using green lentil.  This lentils are perfect for breakfast or light  dinner.

Our dinners are very light food mostly consisting of wraps, salads, sandwiches or chila. Reason being the weather here. It’s quite  humid almost eight months of the year. So we try to keep our dinner light and have it after maghreb prayer.

Mag ni Dal no Chilo / Whole Lentil Savory Crepes is prepare using green lentil known as Mung. I usually use whole mung dal for this recipe. Split green mung is also ok. This dal needs to be soaked for about two hours maximum. Later we grind it with different spices. And pour over the non stick pan & spread with the back of spoon.
