SERVINGS: 3
Ingredients:
- 40 grams whole moong beans (green gram)
- 10 grams besan (gram flour)
- ¼ inch ginger piece
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds (or jeera)
- salt (adjust to taste)
- 3 teaspoons ghee
Instructions:
- Add green gram to a large bowl and rinse them well a few times. Pour fresh water and soak them in for about 4 to 6 hours. Drain the water and rinse them well.
- Add moong, green chilies, cumin seeds, ginger and salt to a blender jar along with little water just enough to make a thick batter.
- Blend the ingredients to a slightly coarse or smooth batter to suit your liking.
- Pesarattu batter must be of pouring consistency yet thick & spreadable.
- Add gram flour (besan) and mix well.
- Heat a tawa. If using a cast iron pan, when it turns hot, drizzle few drops of oil or ghee and rub with a piece of sliced onion. Wipe off the excess.
- Pour batter on the tawa. Then quickly spread it to a thin layer beginning from the center, moving towards the edges of the pan. On a low to medium heat let the pesarattu cook for a few minutes. Pour 1 teaspoon ghee around the edges and the center too. Do not over cook until it browns or discolors as the taste and nutritional value will alter.
