Pesarattu Recipe – Andhra Pesarattu Dosai (Whole Green Gram Dosa)

Pesarattu Recipe

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

Pesarattu Recipe

Preparation Time:8 hrs | Cooking Time : 5 mins / dosa | Serves:2
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:

  1. 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.
    How to make pesarattu - Step1
  2. 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.
    How to make pesarattu - Step2

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.
    How to make pesarattu - Step2
  • 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.
    How to make pesarattu - Step2

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 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 🙂

    i tried Pesarattu .taste was good
    but i felt there was a bit of raw smell of green gram
    how to avoid it

    • Sharmilee! :) says

      March 31, 2013 at 2:35 am

      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

    • SHARMILEE J says

      July 18, 2013 at 3:23 pm

      Yes soaking atleast for 8hrs is needed…after grinding you can instantly make pesarattu no need to leave to rest.

    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.

    It will take time to cook so cook in low flame till it browns evenly and gets roasted well
