South Indian Breakfast - Pesarattu

A request from a friend made me experiment with home made version of Pesarattu.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup whole green moong
  • 1/4 cup of raw rice
  • A small piece of ginger (I use an extra generous amount)
  • A small bunch of coriander leaves 
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 green chillies
  • 2 tbsp of oil, for the dosa while cooking
  • 1/4 cup of minced onions for garnish 




Procedure:


  • Soak the moong dal and rice together overnight. Grind together with rest of the ingredients (ginger, garlic, some of the coriander) and some salt + water. Consistency is the key: The batter should be little coarse and not too watery (a bit on the thicker side - more thicker than regular dosa batter)
  • Heat a pan and spread one ladle-full of batter into a dosa
  • Sprinkle some oil and spread the minced onions, coriander, green chillies on top
  • Cover it with a lid for few mins, turn over carefully once bottom side is golden borwn and again toast for few mins
  • Serve with ginger chutney/  pickle
