Method
Tested in our kitchen
Drain and rinse the soaked green gram and rice.
Blend the green gram, rice, ginger, green chilies, and salt with about 1/2 cup of water until a smooth batter is formed.
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.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium flame and lightly grease it with oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it evenly to form a thin circle.
Drizzle a little oil around the edges and cook until the edges start lifting from the pan and the bottom is golden brown.
Flip the pesarattu and cook for another minute or until it is cooked through.
Serve hot with ginger chutney or any other accompaniment of your choice.
