green split mung dal chilla

Green split mung dal is very nutritious and healthy ,though when i was a kid i was not etall fond of this dal and i had to eat forcibily but sometimes when my mom used to make this green dosa/chilla i would love to have it ,she also uses lauki everytime in this dish as even lauki was not favourite amongst all our siblings ,and my mom's this lovely and unique combo of lauki and green dal chillas were our all time favourite snack/breakfast dish which we always cherish till date,and is also appreciated at my inlaw's place.Today i made these chillas for our breakfast and  being mother's day i am very happy to post this recipe which is one of my favourites mom's recipe .Sending this to jyoti of panchpakwan for her mother's day cooking celeberation event and preeti's green gourmet event.
