WHOLE GREEN MOONG DOSA - PESARATTU WITH GINGER FLAVOR CHUTNEY
 |
| Pesarattu with ginger-coconut Chutney(updated pic) |
Pesarattu is Andhra special,which you can fond in many of the blogs,native from Andhra...Its made out of green moong and little rice and it should be thin by the original recipe...I think some make with yellow moong too,but I think pesarattu with whole green moon is healthier and has a good texture too!
Update:
I am sending this to the event, Made for each other , event hosted by Rathna of Asvadha.Thanks for hosting the event Rathna!
I think that ginger flavored chutney is apt for pesarattu coz, the ginger flavor supress the raw smell in pesarattu and is a great combination and just made for each other!

Now this has become a regular menu in our breakfast,only thing I should say,now I have changed the recipe more like Adai dosai,which both me and my hubby like :)
Ingredients:(Makes 10-12 pesarattus.)
| Whole green moong | 1 cup |
| Raw rice | 2 tblsp |
| Ginger(optional) | 1 inch |
| Jeera(optional) | 1 tsp |
| Green chillies | 4-5 nos. |
| Onion | 1 big (chopped) |
| Curry leaves | 1 sprig |
| Coriander leaves | 2 tblsp chopped |
| Asafetida | 1/4 tsp |
| Salt & Water | As needed |
I always avoid grinding jeera and ginger as I dont like that smell in this. But authentic recipe has it.
Method:
- Soak whole green moong,with rice,through night,morning drain the water and first grind ginger,green chillies,jeera and then add this moong and grind to a coarse batter,of adai consistency(We like ours bit thick and coarsely ground,if you want thin pesarattu,grind smooth).
- Mix in salt,asafetida,onion,curry and coriander leaves and mix well.Add water if needed.
- Heat a tava and spread to your required thickness just like we make dosa,add oil.
- Flip to cook on the other side too.(cook 2 mins in medium flame each side or till golden brown)
- Serve with coconut chuteny or chuTney of your choice..I served with ginger flavored coconut chutney...

What a healthy dosa..:)
hi raji,
As usual ur photos are awesome, they make u mouthwatering....., I do prepare pesarattu most of the times, When I was in India, I used to prepare with split moong dal, when I came here my Andra friend uma asked me use dehusked Green gram dal & now I make with it, She also says- you have to make pesarattu & like potato filling in masala dosa you have to put uppumavu in the middle, fold it & serve it!!!!!, & as u said it is a very healthy dish.
A wonderful click of that delicious pesarattu makes me hungry now..
Just came here from Laavanya's pesarattu post and I see this here.:D
I've made pesarattu a couple of times but have not been too happy with the results. I think my proportions were not right. I clicked pics too intending to post it, but could not since it didn't taste all that great.:D
I should try your proportions the next time.
Your pesarattu looks gorgeous, Raks!
pesarattu looks very rich and yummy! I usually make this with split moong dal. Gorgeous pics.
Raji, have something for you here :http://vibaas-world.blogspot.com/2008/02/morkuzhambu-south-indian-kadhi.html
TBC,
you know what,when the first time I made even I dint liked much the taste,I felt something raw,but afterwards,I tried adding more of asafetida and onions I mix up with the batter itself and made bit thicker....then I liked,the key is the ingredients like asafetida,onion and green chillies u have to add more,that all! Hope you will like next time:)
I too love this a little coarse and make this with sprouted moong beans. I rest the batter for about 30mins and love pesarattu - a vestige from my Secunderabad days:) Yours looks green and nice, and the ginger twist to chutney is new too!!
I love pesarattu too and mostly make them with sprouted moong. Lovely picture!
Hey Raks,
Thanks for the info. :D I added all of those things but I guess I need to addd some more. I will try your proprtions too(for the dal and rice) the next time. Thank you!:)

Hi Raji... I made pesaratu yesterday & to my surprise every body (my hubby & bro in law hate green gram) in my home liked it and had stomatch full. A much heathier way to make them eat a cereal. I made the same chutney for the dosa... the combination is a super hit...
