Instructions
Preparation
- Soak the whole green gram dal and rice together in the water overnight or about 12 hours.
Making of Pesarattu Batter and Garnish
- Wash the green gram dal and drain the water. Grind the dal along with green chilies, ginger and onion.
- Grind all the ingredients into a fine paste by adding little by little. The batter consistency should be like a dosa batter. The batter should be a little coarse. Don’t ferment the batter. If the batter is too tight add water and mix it thoroughly.It should not be too tight, not too watery.
- Shift the batter to a bowl and add the salt and mix well.
- Heat oil in a pan and add the finely chopped green chili, ginger, coriander leaves and onion. Fry for 2 mins and keep it separately. This is to garnish the Pesarattu.
Cooking Pesarattu
- Heat a tawa/griddle on a medium heat and grease it with oil. The pan must be hot for Peserattu to come out in a good shape. If you sprinkle the water on the pan, it should sizzle.
- Take a ladle full of batter and pour it on the pan and spread it into a thin round layer. After 2 seconds, use a spatula to spread the batter so that the edges become thin.
- Wait for few seconds and drizzle a little bit of oil around the edges of Pesarattu and on top of it. Cook in low flame till it becomes crispy. As we have spread the dosa very thin, we don’t need to cook on the other side.
- Sprinkle the fried onion+green chilli+cummin seed mixture on the top.
- When the dosa is cooked and it becomes crispier, fold it in half or roll it fully.
- Remove from the pan and serve with ginger chutney.
