    What is Pesarattu?

    Pesarattu means thin breakfast crepe recipe prepared using sabut (whole) green moong dal, ginger, green chilies, and cumin seeds.

    To know more about moong dal, you can read the post on Indian dal here. 

    This is one of the best Indian recipes to prepare during fasting days. This dosa is diabetic friendly, high in protein, and good for weight loss.

    Here are a few tips to make the best & crispy pesarattu dosa
    • Soak moong dal for 6 to 8 hours.
    • Grind moong dal along with spices to form a thick batter. The amount of water you add will decide how your dosa turns out. Adding too much water will make it tasteless and difficult to cook crispy dosas. The batter should be medium thick of spreadable consistency. You can check the video here on the making of pesarattu.
    • Cook on medium to medium-high flame to get crispy dosas. Do not cook the dosa on high flame as it will develop color too quickly and the dosa will taste undercooked.
    • After cooking the first dosa, wipe the pan with a clean kitchen towel so you can easily spread the next dosa.
    • In case you add too much water, you can adjust the batter consistency by adding rice flour.

    Making of pesarattu dosa batter

    In a bowl, add moong dal and wash it in water two to three times. Drain and soak the moong dal in water for 6 hours to overnight.

    In a blender jar, add soaked and drained moong dal along with ginger, green chiles, cumin seeds, salt, and a half cup of water, and blend it to a smooth paste.

    Transfer the batter to a bowl. Clean the blender with an additional ¼ to ½ cup of water and add it to the batter. Check for consistency. Making of pesarattu batter here

    Cooking pesarattu dosa

    Heat the dosa pan on medium flame. Once hot, take a ladle full of batter and spread it in a circular motion. Drizzle oil. When it is cooked and becomes crispy on one side, flip and cook on another side for one more minute.

    Repeat the process for the remaining batter.

    Serve dosa with chutney and upma, enjoy.

    How to serve pesarattu dosa?

    This dosa can be topped with onions and served. I love to eat pesarattu dosas with South Indian chutney. You can also serve with podi or gun powder.

    Can I refrigerate the pesarattu batter?

    This dosa tastes best when prepared with freshly ground batter. I find that pesarattu dosas prepared with leftover batter are less flavorful than those prepared with fresh batter.

    If you plan to use refrigerated batter, remember to bring the batter to room temperature before taking dosas. This way, you can spread the batter easily and prevent it from clumping up and turning brown.
