COOKWITHJAMMY/PESARATTU/GREEN GRAM DOSA

 Pesarattu/Green gram dosa- Pesarattu is the popular breakfast/snack of andhra pradesh. Normally in pesarattu they use green gram, rice and salt, but here I am going to use idly/dosa batter along with sprouted green gram. Got this idea from one of my relative and really loved it. Coming to health benefits, moong dal is rich in protein and fibre which helps in weight loss. Any type of chutney or sambar compliment the dish.

INGREDIENTS

1. Idly/dosa batter- 2 cups
2. Sprouted green gram- 2 cups
3. Green chilly -1 no:
4. Ginger - small piece
5. Jeera - 1/2 tbsp
6. Salt- As required

INSTRUCTIONS

• Soak moong dal for about 6 hours.

• For sprouted green gram, after 6 hours drain water and keep in container that is not too air tight. Leave it overnight.

• Grind green gram, green chilly, ginger, jeera, salt with required amount of water and make them into fine paste.

• Now add this paste to dosa/idly batter.If batter is thick add water and adjust salt.

• Keep a dosa tava and make crispy dosas. It will take around 3- 4 minutes for cooking one side, u can use ghee or gingelly oil on dosa.

TIPS

• You can also use unsprouted green gram for making dosas.
