Greengram Dosa

Greengram dosa is from the Andhra cuisine.... (I think! Hope I'm not wrong). It is also called as pesarattu. I was introduced to this dish only recently. It is a protein rich dish and is ideal for weekend dinner along with peanut chutney and idli podi. Do give it a try... I adapted the recipe from Sharmi's blog. 

You will need..........

Greengram - 1 cup

Raw rice - 1/4 cup

Green chilli - 4

Ginger - 1 inch

Onion - 1 (chopped finely)

Garlic - 5 pods (chopped finely)

Curry leaves - 2 sprig 

Hing - a pinch

Salt - to taste

Get going..........

1. Soak greengram overnight or for atleast 8 hours.
2. Then drain the water and reserve it. 
3. Grind greengram along with ginger and green chillies, adding water (the reserved one) to a smooth batter.
4. To this add onions, garlic, curry leaves, salt and hing. Mix well.
5. Heat a dosa pan. Pour a ladle of the batter and spread it into a dosa or adai. Cook until it turns golden brown. Flip it over and cook for 2 mins.
6. Repeat the same to make the required number. Greengram dosa is now ready.

Enjoy it with your favourite chutney and idli podi!!!!!!!!!!!
