Tips


 
Pesarattu is a popular Indian vegetarian dish, specifically from the region of Andhra Pradesh. It is a savory pancake made from a batter of green moong dal (mung beans) and rice, seasoned with ginger, cumin, and green chilies. When cooked, it has a crispy texture on the outside and a soft center.

If you're looking to make Pesarattu at home, here are some tips to ensure the best results:

1. Soak the moong dal and rice overnight or for at least 4-5 hours to ensure easy grinding and a smooth batter.
2. Add a small piece of ginger, green chilies, cumin seeds, and salt while grinding the batter for enhanced flavor.
3. Consistency of the batter is important – it should be similar to that of a regular dosa batter. Add water gradually to achieve the desired thickness.
4. For a traditional touch, spread a thin layer of chopped onions on the Pesarattu while cooking.
5. Serve hot with coconut chutney or ginger chutney for a delicious and wholesome meal.
