Pesarattu

This is the most traditional south indian break fast recipe. This is made out of green moong daal.

The key to this recipe is to make it crisp and nice add a little rice also when you make the batter. You can make the pesarattu thin and crisp then!!

Ingridients:-

1. Moong daal - green - pesalu - 2 cups (soak them over night to get sprouts)
2. Rice - 1/2 cup soak over night
3. Green chillies


1. Grind all the three above to a fine paste and thick consistency.

2. Cut ginger, coriander and onion and mix them and keep ready.

3. Heat the pan and when hot reduce to med flame

4. Now take one spatula of the batter and spread it quickly over the pan into a circular shape

5. add little oil. you can use ghee also for frying. I use ghee so that the dish gets special flavour (like for festivals esp)

6. Turn over after a min and turn back. Add the onion mix, roll it over and take off heat

7. Serve with Coconut chutney and ginger pickle also (if you like)
