How to make Andhra Pesarattu

I have had Pesarattu few times with my Telugu friends and wondered how healthy and tasty a simple recipe can be. Whenever I run short of ideas and want a healthy dinner or breakfast, Pesarattu is the first thing that comes to my mind. Below is the recipe.

Ingredients
  •  Soak 1 cup of green moong daal(Pairu) and 1 cup of rice together for about 6 hours. You could also soak them in hot water for about 4 hours.
  •  Half onion – cut in 2-3 pieces
  •  Another Half onion – finely chopped
  •  Green Chillies – 4 chillies – Not chopped
  •  Green Chillies – 4 chillies finely chopped
  •   Coriander leaves – finely chopped
  •   Ginger – Finely chopped
  •   Cumin Seeds
  •   Salt

Preparation
  •  Take a small bowl and mix the finely chopped onion, half of finely chopped ginger, half of finely chopped coriander and finely chopped green chillies. This mixture will be used for seasoning the Pesarattu. Set this aside for now.
  •  Filter out all the water from the soaked daal rice mixture.
  •  In a mixie, grind the full green  chillies, Ginger, Onion cut in 2-3 pieces, some coriander leaves, cumin seeds, salt, soaked daal and rice.
  •  Add water as necessary and make sure that the ground mixture is not too coarse. If finely ground, it is easier to make Pesarattu.
  • Once the batter is ready, switch on the stove and make sure that the dosa pan is hot.
  • Take optimum amount of batter and lay them in round shape on the pan. Add oil around the round Pesarattu.
  • Now add the finely chopped mix of onion, ginger, coriander and green chillies over the Pesarattu.
 
  • Let the bottom of the Pesarattu turn brown.
  • Remove the Pesaretu from the pan and serve hot with pickle and idli milagai podi.

Let me know how this turns out !!
