Pesarattu Recipe | Moong Dal Dosa Recipe | Andhra Pesarattu Dosa Recipe

Pesarattu Dosa Recipe with step by step photos – Pesarattu Dosa or Moong Dal Dosa is a popular breakfast recipe of Andhra Pradesh. I make Pesarattu at times as these dosas are easy to make. Just soak the lentils and then grind them. No need of fermenting the batter. You can use the batter straightway after grinding.

Pesarattu are a healthy & nutritious Dosa variety. Vegan as well as Gluten free.

These dosas can be made with whole moong beans or spilt moong lentils which are also known as green gram in English. I usually make the Pesarattu dosa with both the versions of moong dal.

The dosa made with yellow moong lentils are more like moong chillas. Whereas the ones made with whole moong beans taste a bit different. But both are delicious. Pesarattu Dosa is served with Upma. The dosa can be served with coconut chutney. They also taste good with a simple coriander chutney.

There are many varieties of dosas served in india like masala dosa, ragi dosa, poha dosa and neer dosa and so on.

• If using yellow moong, then you can soak the lentils for 2 to 3 hours. 
• Instead of adding rice flour, you can also grind both soaked rice and green moong beans together.
