Pesarattu

Pesarrattu (Andra Special)

Green Gram Dosa/ Lentils Dosa/ Lentils Crepe/ Moon dal Dosa/ Pasi Parupu/Pachai Parupu Dosa.

Pessarattu is my favourite Andhra Tiffin recipe. Like one could make it...just like that. No need to pre-plan or wait till fermentation. Pretty simple to fix. Its rich in protein, as whole gram is used...lots of fibre, kind of fulfilling meal. One could toss veggies like carrot, scallions and cilantro on top...to make it complete.


Ingredients:

Green gram 200-400 gms(green moong dahl)
Rice one handful
Onions 2 finely chopped
Carrot 2 finely shredded
Green chilies 6
Ginger 4 inch
Garlic 4-5 cloves
Salt
Oil
Soda 1/4 tea spoon
Coriander leaves 1 cup finely chopped
Curry leaves 3 twigs finely chopped.

Preparation:

1. In a bowl soak green gram and rice for 5 hours.

2. Grind the dahl with little water. Grind also ginger, garlic, green chilies and salt along with this.

3. To this barter add soda and mix it well.

4. On a tawa smear oil and make dosa with this batter. Turn the flame to medium.

5. Garnish the dosa with onions, carrots, coriander and curry leaves on top. Keep lided after garnishing for a while. No need to turn the dosa other side...it gets cooked when we lid it.

6. one can serve this with mint/coconut chutney or with plain sambar.
