Pesarattu recipe | Green Gram dosa | Hara Moong Dal Chilla

Pesarattu recipe 

Pesarattu is my favorite since my childhood days as my mom makes it at least once in a month. It is very filling and tasty for breakfast. Pesarattu is a very healthy dosa made with moong dal.  We are all aware of the health benefits of moong dal.  It is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals  So this dosa is also good for people who are on a diet.  It can be made in a non-stick tawa with very less oil. Pesarattu is very easy and involves very few steps. 

Ingredients : 

 Servings: 2

• Whole green gram dal (Hara moong dal)– 1 cup
• Green chilies – 3
• Ginger – 1/2 inch piece  
• Salt – to taste
• Water – as required
• Cumin seeds: 1/2 tsp
• Rice - 2 tbsp

Method : 

1. Soak green gram and rice together for 5-6 hours. Grind it to a smooth paste along with green chilies, ginger and needed salt. Add cumin seeds and mix well.
2. Add water if the batter is too thick.Heat a dosa tawa, take a ladle full of batter and spread it like dosa. 
3. Sprinkle oil on the sides and cook on both sides.
4. Your pesarattu dosai is ready to be served. Tastes best with Chutney.

Notes :

• You can grind the batter coarsely and make pesarattu thick like adai too. We like it a bit thin and slightly crispy.
• As we all know adding ginger with the green gram or any dal variety helps in good digestion.
• Adjust green chillies according to your taste.
