Recipe Description

Pesarattu, a popular breakfast dish from South India, is a delightful green crepe made from whole green gram (moong dal) and rice. Known for its vibrant green hue and nourishing content, this dish is not only pleasing to the eye but also packed with nutrients. Light yet satisfying, Pesarattu is typically enjoyed with a dollop of ginger chutney. Its crisp edges and soft interior make it a beloved choice for any meal of the day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole green gram (moong dal), soaked overnight
  • 1/4 cup rice, soaked for 4 hours
  • 1-inch ginger, chopped
  • 2 green chilies, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves, chopped
  • Water as needed
  • Oil, for cooking

Steps:

  1. Drain and rinse the soaked green gram and rice.
  2. Blend the green gram, rice, ginger, green chilies, and salt with about 1/2 cup of water until a smooth batter is formed.
  3. Transfer the batter to a bowl and adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed. The batter should be of pouring consistency but not too thin.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium flame and lightly grease it with oil.
  5. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it evenly to form a thin circle.
  6. Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook until the edges start lifting from the pan and the bottom is golden brown.
  7. Flip the pesarattu and cook for another minute or until it is cooked through.
  8. Serve hot with ginger chutney or any other accompaniment of your choice.
