Hi Reader,

If you want a breakfast, lunch, or dinner idea that comes together quickly, this high-protein red lentil chila is a strong pick. It uses masoor dal, needs no fermentation, and works well as a plain chila or with finely chopped vegetables mixed in.

Watch the full recipe video here: High Protein Red Lentil Chila Recipe​

In the video, you'll see how to make:

• A smooth masoor dal batter with cumin, green chili, ginger, garlic, and salt
• A vegetable version with broccoli and carrot
• A simple red garlic chutney with red chili powder, coriander powder, and lemon juice
• Crispy chila that cooks well on a hot tawa with a little oil or ghee

The recipe is flexible too. You can keep it plain, add veggies, or fill it with cheese or paneer for a richer meal. It's the kind of recipe that fits busy weekdays without giving up on flavor.

If you're planning your weekly menu, this one is an easy way to add more protein to the table without much effort.

Happy cooking,

Renu
