Pesarattu Recipe

A South Indian delicacy, Pesarattu is a savory pancake made from green gram (moong dal) batter.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup green gram (moong dal)
• 1/2 cup rice (optional)
• 1 green chili
• 1 inch ginger
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• Salt to taste
• Water as needed

Instructions:

1. Soak the Ingredients:

   • Rinse the green gram and rice thoroughly.
   • Soak them in water for 4-6 hours or overnight.

2. Grind the Batter:

   • Drain the soaked ingredients and transfer them to a blender.
   • Add green chili, ginger, cumin seeds, and salt.
   • Grind to a smooth batter, adding water as needed. The batter should be slightly thicker than dosa batter.

3. Cook the Pesarattu:

   • Heat a tawa or griddle.
   • Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot tawa and spread it thinly in a circular motion.
   • Drizzle oil or ghee around the edges and on top of the Pesarattu.
   • Cook until golden brown on both sides.

4. Serve:

   • Serve hot with coconut chutney and sambar.

Tips:

• For a crispier Pesarattu, you can add a little bit of fenugreek seeds to the batter.
• You can also add chopped onions and cilantro to the batter for extra flavor.
• If you prefer a thicker Pesarattu, you can add more rice to the batter.
