Pesarattu / Green Gram Dosa

 Mung Beans also called as Green gram are a good source of antioxidants . It may reduce our risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers . 

Mung Beans are also a good source of potassium , magnesium and fiber . This is linked to lower blood pressure levels in adults with and without high blood pressure.

This Dosa recipe is very easy to make and doesn't needs to be fermented. It is a good source of protein too. It is served with ginger chutney or filled with upma just like the masala dosa instead of masala filled with upma.

Whole Mung / Green gram - 1 cup

raw rice - 1/4 cup 

ginger - 1 inch piece

cumin - 2 tsp

salt - 3/4 tsp

chilli - 1 ( we can reduce the chilli depending on the spice . use either red or green)


Soak the rice and mung for 6-8 hours. 

Grind it with chilli, cumin, salt, ginger.

Grind it in a Mixie or a food precessor/ grinder

We can grind it to a smooth consistency or coarse. I usually do grind it to a smooth consistency.

No need to ferment and consistency has to be not so thick and not so thin. Just like for the crepes. 

Then make the Dosa as usual

Pesarattu/ green Gram Dosa is ready.

Serve it with sambhar/ chutney.
