Egg and Bengal Gram Dhal (Chana Dal) pancake brings back nostalgic memories of my maternal grandfather as it was one of his favourite side dishes for lunch along with his rice and sambar or rice and kaara kolambhu. Serve it as an evening snack with tomato ketchup or as a side dish with lunch or as a wholesome breakfast item.
