Pesarattu is my favourite since my childhood days as amma makes it atleast once in a month. It is very filling and tasty for breakfast.I am here with my friday post in advance as I am leaving to my aunts place tommorrow 🙂 So no access to net for the next 3 days kind of good as atleast for 3 days my fingers, eyes and my camera will be in rest 😉
Pesarattu Recipe
Preparation Time:8 hrs | Cooking Time : 5 mins / dosa | Serves:2
Recipe Category: Drinks | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Recipe Category: Drinks | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Whole green gram(Paasi payaru) – 1 cup
Green chillies – 2
Onion – 1 medium sized chopped finely
Ginger – 1/2 inch piece
Garlic – 5 (optional)
Coriander leaves- a handful
Hing – a pinch
Salt – to taste
Water – as required
Method1:
- Soak green gram(paasi paruppu) overnight or atleast for 8hrs. Next day rinse it well then drain water and grind it with ginger,green chillies, coriander leaves and with required water to a smooth paste.
- Add water to make to dosa batter consistency.Heat a dosa tawa, take a laddle full of batter and spread it thin like dosa.While its still cooking add chopped onion. Sprinkle oil on the sides and turn over and cook on both sides.
Your pesarattu dosai is ready to be served. Tastes best with coconut chutney.
Method 2:
- Soak green gram(paasi paruppu) overnight or atleast for 8hrs. Next day rinse it well then drain water and grind it with ginger,green chillies, salt and with required water to a smooth paste.
- Then mix in salt, hing, chopped onion, garlic and coriander leaves and mix well. Add water if the batter is too thick.Heat a dosa tawa, take a laddle full of batter and spread it thick like adai or like dosa. Sprinkle oil on the sides and cook on both sides.Your pesarattu dosai is ready to be served. Tastes best with coconut chutney.
My Notes:
- You can grind the batter coarsely and make pesarattu thick like adai too. We like it a bit thin and slightly crispy.
- Adding garlic is purely optional but sure enhances taste. And as we all know adding ginger and garlic with green gram or any bean/dhal variety helps in good digestion.
- Adjust green chillies according to your spice level.

I like this dosa too! But the recipe that I have, involves more of rice too. This one seems more crispier. I would surely like to try this one out. Thanks.
Yummy and delicious looking Pesarattu Green Gram Dosa
love your photographs… if you like you can share them on http://tastingspot.com
Looks good.. have to try it.. soon.But what about the 1tbsp of rice mentioned in the ingredients ???
@Anu : It should be grinded with green gram itself, added it now 🙂
I tried your way of making pesarattu and it did come out well. I didn't know if the rice had to be soaked or not, so soaked it along with the green gram. Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂
Tejaswini
@Tej : Yes rice should also be soaked with green gram itself…Now updated in the recipe too 🙂
Very Healthy Dish, Update more diabeties receipes.
your photography make me try this recepie though i have already know about it but never tried,but today finally i made it.too yummy.this recepie is first recepie of our this years green gram harvest as yeasterday only it has come from farm.
shital.
i tried Pesarattu .taste was good
but i felt there was a bit of raw smell of green gram
how to avoid it
Oh not really sure…I havent found any raw smell at all.May be in that case you can pressure cook for 2 whistles and then grind it…but not sure whether it will work because havent it tried it that way myself.
plz tell me if i am correct
we should soak gram and rice whole day and
then grind it at evening and then again leave it like that
for whole night .
and then cook it in the morning plz reply quickly
Yes soaking atleast for 8hrs is needed…after grinding you can instantly make pesarattu no need to leave to rest.
Hai mam… Happy to post my first comment on your precious website.. Such a wonderful site, guiding many people for a better cooking..[Especially Vijayapriya;)] And Photographs are too good..
Please teme.. Can I Refrigerate that Batter for the Nextday???
Yes when I make it for dinner I refrigerate the leftover batter for next day
I love pesarattu. This is the one of the Famous and delicious Andhra Break fast recipe. Thanks for sharing for those who are trying to learn how to cook it. you can try Uggani recipe which is one of the famous Andhra Break fast recipe too.
Hai sharmi can I use one tbsp pulungal arisi?
Yes you can add that….
Hi.. batter has to be used only when it is made fresh or how long can we actually refrigerate and use this batter ? My question might be a bit silly.. but.. I am a beginner.. just started to cook.. #newlywed #cookingislikenightmare.
You can keep for 2 days…
Thanku:)
hey sharmi thanks for ur lovely recipes. i tried this n dosa was chewy. did i miss anything.
It will take time to cook so cook in low flame till it browns evenly and gets roasted well
