Pesarattu Recipe – an easy, protein packed and nutritious breakfast from Andhra cuisine, that requires only few ingredients. This Moong Dal dosa Recipe is a saviour for working women, as this batter can be easily grinded in mixie within few minutes. It requires no fermentation and so it can be prepared instantly. Usually it is paired up with upma and ginger chutney, but goes well with coconut chutney and khara chutney too. To make it more healthier, use sprouted green gram (checkout my sprouted green gram sundal to know – how to sprout green gram).
