पेसरट्टू / Green Gram n rice dosa


One more Dosa without fermentation which makes me feel a healthier Dosa. Also, whole Green gram makes it rich in Protein and energy. Green gram is one of those who doesn't loose their protein profile even after cooking. :)

I think that is why green gram curries are so healthy.
Alright then, Enjoy your healthy Andhra cosine's Pesarattoo :) Green gram Dosa....
To give a spicy edge, i made Potato Bhaji (which is used in usual masala Dosa)


Preparation time: 15 minutes
Serves - 8 to 10 Dosas

Ingredients:
1 cup rice
1 cup whole green gram
2 T spoon grated ginger
4-5 green chillies
2 spoons cumin seeds
4-5 sprigs of coriander leaves
salt to taste
1/4 T spoon sugar

Procedure:
  1. Soak rice, green gram together for 7-8 hours.
  2. Grind rice-gram together in mixer along with grated ginger,green chillies,coriander leaves,cumin seeds,salt,sugar. While grinding add little water.
  3. Keep the consistency of batter little thin than normal dosa.
  4. Heat the griddle with little oil.
  5. Spread the batter in circular motion to make dosa.
  6. Roast well. Flip the Dosa and keep it on griddle for a minute or two. Don't overcook the other side.
Serve hot with coconut chutney or potato dry curry.
Note: If you want Dosa to be more crispy, take 1:2 proportion of Rice-Dal. That is if you take 1/2 cup rice, take 1 cup whole green gram. This serves ( 1/2 cup rice+1 cup green gram) around 8 Dosas.
