Green moong dal is packed with protein in its raw form, an essential part of a vegetarian diet. A pesarattu is a delicious type of dosa made specifically from green moong dal, however, I adjusted the ingredients according to my taste. Pesarattus can be eaten at anytime of the day; as breakfast, brunch or even for dinner. This wonderful and tasty recipe is easy to prepare and very nutritious. Of note, one medium size dosa contains approximately 130-150 kilocalories.
INGREDIENTS:
Green Moong Dal (Whole) – 1 cup
Parboiled rice – 1-1/2 cup
Raw rice – 1/2 cup
Bengal gram – 2 tsp
Toor dal – 2 tsp
Red chilies – 8-10 (adjust according to your spiciness level)
Asafoetida – a pinch
Salt – As needed
Onion – 1 medium size
Finely chopped coriander and curry leaves – few
Oil – As required
METHOD:
· Wash and soak the dals and rice separately for three hours.
· Grind it to a smooth paste along with red chilies, salt, and asafoetida. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the finely chopped onions and coriander and curry leaves. Mix well to combine and set aside as needed. The batter should have a pouring consistency similar to that of dosa.
· Heat the dosa pan, pour the batter and spread it from the center. Pour a tsp of oil over the edges.
· When one side is cooked well, flip over to the other side. If necessary, add little oil over the edges, and remove when it is fully cooked.
· Serve hot with any side dish of your choice.
