Ingredients
- 1 cup moong beans green gram
- 2 teaspoons raw rice
- 2-3 green chillies
- 1 inch ginger peeled
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Salt
- Oil for making dosa
Instructions
- Soak green gram and rice together for 4-6 hours. Drain and take in a mixer jar.
- Add green chilies, ginger and cumin seeds. Add salt and grind to a smooth batter. The batter should be thinner than usal dosa better.
- Heat a tava and pour a ladle full of batter. Spread well into a thin circle.Add oil in the edges and little bit in the center. Add finely chopped onions. Press well.
- Flip and cook till done and edges turn crispy. Serve pesarattu hot with any side dish.
Notes
- To make super crispy dosa do not soak the beans for more than 6 hours. If you soak for long time they become soft and do not yield crispy dosas.
- If whole green moong is unavailable use regular split moong dal, the color will be different.
- Adding finely chopped onions lend a nice flavor and taste. Instead of adding to the cooked dosa, you can also add them to the batter.
- If you add onions to the batter, it may be difficult to spread the dosas very thin though.
- The recipe can doubled or halved.
