Another addition to the list of items i learnt from my MIL :).. We never really made this at home.. I remember amma making it with green gram & both appa and me had a huge list of why we don't like it & we literally banned it..
Then after many many years, i tasted this and liked it.. I can't say a lot, but then its a good variation plus its so healthy.. So to a super easy recipe!
Ingredients
1. Moongdal - 1 cup
2. Raw Rice - fistful
3. Green chillies - 3
4. Curry leaves - a sprig
5. Cilantro - 3tbsp
6. Onion - 1/2 cup finely chopped
7. Salt - to taste
8. Oil - to drizzle
Preparation Time!!
1. Take moog dal in a bowl. To this add rice & soak this in water for 2-3 hours..The proportion is always for every cup of moong dal, a fistful of rice goes in..
2. After 3 hrs, drain water.. take the rice dal mixture in a blender. To this add chillies, curry leaves & cilantro along with 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup water and make a smooth batter
3. To the batter, add salt and finely chopped onions and mix well. Then make pesarattu by pouring a ladle of batter and drizzle oil and cook for a few min
This is a very soft version of a dosa and we always have it with raw onion chutney.. Serve hot :)

ReplyDeleteI like pesaratu especially with a spicy chutney....but then kiddos just don't like it...reason unknown ...so I rarely make it. Looks super yummy. Nice.

ReplyDeleteGreat looking pesarattu. This is a heavy dish, despite that there is a popular dish called MLA pesarattu - it has upma inside the pesarattu - and it is a filling meal. Why the name? I have no clue. It used to be served in the local MLA canteen when it was open to the public.
ReplyDeleteooh! thats a nice story to know.. i didn't know there was a dish as such.. thanks ..love reading such tidbits :)
Deletewhat is interesting is u have used split yellow moong coz the traditional recipe used whole green moong... but im thinking this muct have tasted way better... love the clicks!
ReplyDeletei dodnt like the traditional one.. feel it kinda gets hard.. this one is much softer and tastier too :)
Deletewow.. perfect pesarattu.. i make it with whole green moong. making with yellow ones is different for me
