Pesarattu, pesarattu dosa, pesarattu dosai, Andhra style pesarattu, green moong bean dosa, moong dal dosa, healthy dosa, south Indian tiffin variety, south Indian breakfast recipe, Andhra special pesarattu with step-by-step pictures, and video recipe. Check out the pesarattu recipe and if you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel.

Pesarattu Dosai is a protein-rich tiffin variety prepared with green moong bean. Be it breakfast or dinner, green moong dal dosai is filling and tasty. Andhra special dosai is a healthy tiffin for toddlers too. Tastes best with ginger chutney 

Should I use rice for Pesarattu?

Traditionally Rice is not added for Moong dal dosai but personally, I like the texture of the mong dal dosai with little rice hence I add it all the time. If you prefer healthy pesarattu without rice skip it. 

Can I use fresh ginger for Moong dal dosai?

Yes, traditionally fresh ginger is used for making pesarattu. While taking video for the Moong dal pesarattu dosai recipe I was out of fresh ginger hence I used ginger powder

Can I use moong dal instead of green moong bean?

Yes, you can use the same amount of moong dal instead of green moong beans. With fewer carbs, Green moong bean adai dosai is such a healthy dish for kids and Adults. Checkout other moong bean-based recipes in TMF. If you like lentil-based  tiffin varieties try quinoa adai, cracked wheat adai

Do I need to ferment Moong bean dosa batter?

No, you can grind and make the pesarattu immediately, You need to soak the moong bean for 8 hours but with the soaked bean this is one instant dosa variety,

What should be the consistency of Moong dal dosai batter?

The batter should be like regular dosa batter consistency. Avoid thick batter as it will make the dosa hard.

Should I cook the Moong dal dosai on both sides?

If the batter is thick you need not cook the pesarattu dosai on both sides. If you make a thick dosa flip and cook both sides
