Pesarattu /Green Moong Dal Crepes


2011 has taught me some wonderful things. I made new blogger friends, got to taste some amazing recipes shared by my friends.
Here I am at the end of this year sharing a traditional breakfast recipe from my neighbor state/

Pesarattu is a traditional breakfast from Andhra. It is usuallys erved with upma. However in Tamil nadu, it is served with either sambar or chutney. The main ingredient is green moong dal, with skin. i would say it's a cousin of our Adai. However in adai we use channa dal, moong dal, urad dal, and rice.

Adais generally need no fermentation and so does pesarattu. Try this nutritious breakfast that can keep you charged all through the morning.

Get Ready:

  • 1 measure Green moong dal
  • 1/2 measure basmati rice
  • 2-3 green chillies
  • 1 inch ginger peeled and chopped
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp asafetida/ hing
  • water
  • oil
Go:

  • wash the rice and moong dal together. soak overnight in water
  • Next day, grind them finely with green chilli, ginger ina blender, adding water to a consistency of dosa batter.
  • Add asafetida, salt to taste and mix well.
  • In a griddle or tawa, add a little oil and spread.
  • Pour a ladle full of batter and make crepes or dosas.
  • Let it cook till it is crispy or brown.
  • Flip the other side and cook for a few mins.

Serve hot with chutney, milagai podi or sambar.





Wishing all my friends a wonderlful 2012! may your life be filled with love, good health and of course scrumptious food!

  7. Blog is very helpful! Thank you for the blog. Toddler care is a place where a child is taken care of with engaging and interactive activities. A loving and caring environment with a safe and secure space for toddlers who are now ready to move around. With a working mother and father, it becomes crucial to find someone who can take care of your toddler with love and compassion. KidzVille Learning Center is a Toddler Daycare In Surrey which not only takes care of your child while you are away working but also gives your toddler a chance to interact and play with many other children which is far better than getting involved in gadgets like mobile phones. Each child is assigned an experienced and certified caretaker, who takes care of their individual needs like nap times, feeding times, etc especially if a child is very young. At our daycare, your children will be involved in activities like building blocks, music, playing and many more.
