Heat one teaspoon oil in a shallow non-stick pan, spread one portion of potato mixture on the pan thinly[square or round shape] and cook, turning sides, till crisp. Similarly prepare more cheelas with the remaining mixture.
Serve hot with chutney to ketchup.

Notes

spread as thin as possible, of the shape of your choice.

Snack – Sprouted Moong & Corn Salad

Mix 1 cup of sprouts [ You may blanch it for a couple of minutes in case you don’t like the raw taste], 1/2 cups of corn and 1/4 cup of diced cucumber,2 tbsp of diced tomato along with few dry raisins.[My kid loves raisins so I added].
Add the juice of lime , some salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle chat masala.
Toss well and serve.

Snack – Red Grapes – Wash grapes before packing into the box.

Prep Work For The Previous Evening

1. The sprouts need about a day’s time to get ready. Soak the whole green Moong for 4-6 hours . Drain the water ,cover with a moist muslin cloth and set aside to sprout.
