PESARATTU / MOONG DAL DOSA

INGREDIENTS

• Whole green moong dal with skin – 1 cup
• Raw rice – 1 or 1 ½ tbsp.
• Ginger – 1 inch
• Green chilli – 1
• Jeera / cumin seeds – ¾ tsp
• Salt to taste
• Ghee or oil to drizzle
• Finely chopped onion + grated carrot + finely chopped coriander leaves as required for topping.

PREPARATION

Clean ,wash ,rinse and soak the dal + rice in water for minimum 6 hrs or over night .

METHOD

Drain off the excess water and take the dal in a mixie jar.

Add green chilli + ginger + jeera and grind it to a smooth paste by adding water .

Not very thick or thin batter – medium consistency.

Transfer the batter to a bowl , add salt and mix well with clean hands .

Heat a tava on medium high flame .

Once it is hot , spinkle few drops of water and wipe it with a wet cloth .

Pour a ladle of batter and spread it into a thin dosa.

Drizzle oil or ghee all over .

Sprinkle the onion + carrot + coriander leaves and allow it to cook on medium flame .

If the dosa is thick ,then we need to flip and cook on the other side also .

Else just cook on one side , fold the dosa and remove .

Serve hot with any South Indian accompaniment .

In Andhra they serve with ginger chutney .

NOTES

1. To get green colour ,you can grind palak or coriander leaves while grinding the dal .
2. As we are grinding the dal with skin ,the batter will be light and fluffy .
3. U can also make idli with the same batter – add eno or baking soda – Moong dal idli
4. 
5. Instead of raw rice ,u can add rice flour in the batter .
6. We can also use sprouted moong dal .
7. U can also use split green moong dal .
8. I tried making thin / thick / topi and also uttappa with the same batter .
9. U can also stuff potato sabji for masala dosa.
10. Same recipe goes for yellow moong dal .
11. U can add a generous pinch of asafoetida to the batter .
12. I had kept the batter aside for 2 hrs as I had time . Also I soaked thedal overnight .
13. With the same batter which was refrigerated I made idli by adding eno ,came out perfect.
