Green gram dhal adai/Pesarattu



Ingredients:
Whole moong dhal/Green gram dhal1 cup
Raw rice1/8 cup
Ginger chopped2 tsp
Green chillies2 or 3
Salt3/4 tsp
Curry leavesa sprig
Asafoetidaa pinch
Onions chopped1 small sized
Oil2 tablespoons
Procedure:
Step1:
Wash and soak the green gram dhal and rice together for atleast 2 hrs. I usually soak it overnight


Step2:
Grind both together with little water. Add ginger, salt,asafeotida and green chillies while grinding.
Grind to a smooth batter. The batter should be of uthappam consistency. Somewhere in between the consistency of idli batter and dosa batter.Add curry leaves to the batter and mix well


Step3:
Heat the tawa (When water is sprinkled on the tawa it should sizzle) and add 1 tablespoon of chopped onions.
Alternatively, the onions can be separately fried and then added to the batter
Now pour the batter similar to dosa. Add some oil


Step4:
Once cooked, flip the dosa and cook to golden brown on both the sides.


Notes:
Adding onions is completely optional
Sprouted moong dhal can also be used which is much more healthier
2 tablespoons of grated coconut can also be added while grinding the batter


Suggested Accompaniments
Coconut Chutney

  6. I have tried this recipe with normal moong dal and Safe Foods Moong Dal and found it to be more tasty. Is that because of the organic thing?? http://www.perigreensafefoods.com/
