Pesarattu

 Pesarattu is an Andhra Pradesh dish and Mom used to prepare for us in home. It is very simple to make and nutritious too. We do not use Green gram much in our home and hence used to have it in the form of dosa. Anything in form of dosa would be crispy and yummy ;). Even children would love to have it. Here is the recipe which you all can enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Green Gram
1/4 Cup Rice
2 tbs Moong Dal (Optional)
2 cup water
Required Salt
1 big Onion (Finely Chopped)

To Grind:

Small piece of Ginger
3 Green Chillies
Few Curry leaves

Method:

• Soak the Green gram dal, Rice, Moong dal in water for 3-4hrs.
• Grind the grams and to grind ingredients into a smooth paste. And make it dosa batter consistency.
• Finely chop the Onion and keep it aside.
• Pour the ladle of batter on a hot non stick tava or hot gridle and spread the dosa batter in round shape. Spread the chopped onions over ait nd sprinkle oil so that it gets cooked.
• Once the first side gets cooked flip the other side and allow it to get cooked.
• Serve with Ginger Chutney. We like it with Curd and pickle. :) 

 

Note:

• If you want the dosa to be little soft instead of Moong Dal you can also add litlle Urad dhal it gives a softer texture for your dosa. My mom used to add it, I have not tried so far. But it will not be used in the original recipe. 
• Adjust the ingredients according to your taste and eat healthy :)
