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.
Pesarattu recipe
Pesarattu a heathy dosai made using green moong dal as main ingredient.
Servings7 dosais
Ingredients
- 1 cup green moong dal
- 2 nos green chillies
- 1 medium sized onion chopped finely
- 1/2 inch ginger piece
- 5 nos garlic
- a handful coriander leaves
- a pinch hing
- salt to taste
- water as required
Instructions
- 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.
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.

@Anu : It should be grinded with green gram itself, added it now 🙂
Tej
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

Meenal Ramanathan
i tried Pesarattu .taste was good
but i felt there was a bit of raw smell of green gram
how to avoid it
Sharmilee! :)
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.
Shaikh ZaeD FAizan
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
SHARMILEE J
Yes soaking atleast for 8hrs is needed…after grinding you can instantly make pesarattu no need to leave to rest.
priya

Hai sharmi can I use one tbsp pulungal arisi?
SHARMILEE J
Yes you can add that….
Shakti
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.
SHARMILEE J
You can keep for 2 days…
Shakti
Thanku:)
Khadija H
hey sharmi thanks for ur lovely recipes. i tried this n dosa was chewy. did i miss anything.
SHARMILEE J
It will take time to cook so cook in low flame till it browns evenly and gets roasted well
