Serving Size : 6-8 (for breakfast)
Prep ⏰: 5 mins (8 hours soak time)| Cook ⏰ : 15 mins (go through whole batter)
Ingredients
2 cups green mong (whole)
4-5 chillies
1 tbsp ginger
salt to taste
oil to prepare pesarattu
Instructions
Wash the lentils thoroughly. In a bowl, add the lentil and about 4 cups of water.
Soak the mixture for 4-5 hour or overnight.
In a blender or wet grinder, add the soaker lentils, chillies, ginger and blend to smooth texture similar to pancake or dosa batter(add water as necessary).
This stays in fridge for 1-2 days so good option for quick meal prep but best to use it right away.
Once you are ready to prepare pesarattu or dosa , just add about 1 tbsp salt and mix well.
On a hot tava/griddle, brush some oil on tava and spread batter like dosa. After 2-3 minutes, add some oil on top and flip to cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes or till golden brown.
Serve hot with some ginger chutney or as-is. Enjoy the healthy yumminess!
