Pesarattu


Here's another dish for breakfast which is basically from Andhra. Pesarattu is very rich in proteins and fibre content. Since it is nutritious and healthy, my mom used to make it quite often. And now, I am following her footsteps...:-) Hope you like it too!

Ingredients:

1 cup Green moong (soaked in water overnight)
1-2 Green chillis
1 tbsp Rice flour
1 tsp Jeera
A pinch Hing
2" Ginger
2 tsp Oil
salt as per taste

Method:
  1. Grind all the ingredients except oil in a blender. The batter should be as thick as any other dosa batter. Add enough water to get the required consistency.

  2. Heat the non-stick tawa on the stove on medium heat.

  3. Once the tawa is hot, reduce the heat and spread the batter on the tawa like any other dosa.

  4. Pour a little oil and cook covered until done. Cook pesarattu on both sides.

  5. Once done, remove from tawa and serve hot with butter and coconut chutney.

Tip: Adding 1-2 tsp of rice flour to the batter would make it easy for you to remove the pesarattu from tawa after cooking.
