    Pesarattu Recipe | Andhra Pesarattu Recipe | Green Gram Dal Dosa recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Pesarattu is heatlhy and protein packed nutritious breakfast from Andhra made with green gram dal. Green gram dal is also called as whole moong dal. It is simple to make than regular dosa as there is no fermentation of the batter required. Soak the gram dal for 3-4 hours and grind them to fine batter adding green chilli and ginger. You can make dosa immediately like adai

    You can make them as crispy dosa or thick uttapam consistency. I learned this recipe from my Andhra college friend. She used to bring this for lunch along with Pickle and we would love that combo. You can serve it with any chutney of your choice. I made as crispy dosa for my kids and added onions, finely chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves for me. I add to batter and make the crepes but you can add as topping too. Serve it for breakfast or dinner. 

    Monday again and theme for this week in Foodie Monday Bloghop group is #221MoongMagic suggested by Swati who blogs at foodtrials25. I love her way of presenting and writing. Do check her space for some amazing baking and recipes from around the world. As soon as she announced the theme, I decided to make pesarattu as it is one of my favorite breakfast.

      Beautiful green colour of the delicious looking pesarattu . This dosa has been on my to do list for a very long time. I like your suggestion that one can make them like uttapam too. I think that's what hubby would prefer.
