Green MoongDal Dosai | Pesarettu | Mung Bean Dosai

Green Gram Dosai or Upma Pesarettu is a popular breakfast in Andhra Pradesh. This Pesarettu / Mung Bean dosai is generally served alongside Semolina Upma and Ginger Chutney. A filling & healthy breakfast too. Upma recipe is not yet updated in the blog yet. Shall add soon. I have made an instant version of Pesarettu too using Green Moongdal Flour/  Paasipayaru Maavu.

I have made different proportions of Pesarettu batter.  Of all the combinations I have tried so far 3:1 turns out perfectly everytime. 3 portions of Mungbeans and one portion of Idli Rice is all you need. You can also add Fenugreek seeds and a tbsp Urad dal if you want while soaking. They add a good taste and texture to the batter. With the following measurement 15-18 medium size dosais can be made. You can serve this with Ginger Chutney, Onion Tomato Chutney , Garlic Powder, Idli Molagapodi or Saambaar

Instructions

1. Soak Green Gram and Idli Rice together in water for about 3 hours
2. Grind soaked dal mixture, along with Red chillies,ginger, curryleaves and coriander leaves together. Add water at regular intervals
3. The batter should be very smooth. Add salt and hing to the batter after grinding.
4. Leave the batter to ferment for about 2-3 hours. You can also start making Dosais immediately. I prefer it to be fermented atleast for sometime so that there is a mild sourness in the batter.
5. Heat a tsp of Oil in Dosa Tawa. Add some curry leaves, finely chopped onions, a pinch of salt and some finely chopped green chillies
6. Saute until onions are golden brown. Keep this aside. Now spread the batter in dosai tawa, sprinkle onion and drizzle oil
7. Wait until one side is cooked and carefully flip the dosai. Let the other side get cooked for a minute too. Then serve the dosai with chutney of your choice 😋😋
