Pesarattu

Pesarattu is a kind of savory crepe made with a combination of whole green gram and rice.This scrumptious dosa like dish is a popular breakfast item in Andhra cuisine. I make spicy onion chutney with it which goes really well!


Ingredients for Pesarattu :

• Green gram (whole moong) : 1 glass 
• Rice : 1/2 glass
• Ginger : 1 inch
• Cumin seeds : 1 tsp
• Green chillies : 2 (as per required hotness)

Method :

• Soak whole moong and rice overnight.
• Coarse grind whole moong, rice, ginger, green chillies and cumin seeds together. Sprinkle salt to taste.

• Heat a nonstick griddle, pour a ladle full of Pesarattu batter over it and spread.
• Sprinkle oil over the edges and flip it and cook till crisp.
