Pesarattu is the famous Andhra delicacy. I have already blogged about the
regular pesarattu. This time I added mint to give it a different taste and flavor. It came out so delicious and the dosa has got a pretty color. Mint leaves are rich in Vitamins C and A.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Yellow Mung or Green Mung (పెసరపప్పు)
- 1 bunch of Mint Leaves
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 5 or 6 Green Chilies (or according to individual taste)
- A small piece of Ginger, peeled and chopped (optional)
- Salt
- Oil
Preparation:
- Wash and soak mung daal for at least 6 hours.
- Wash and remove leaves from mint twigs. Discard hard stems.
- Grind
soaked mung daal into a fine paste along with mint leaves + cumin seeds
+ green chilies + ginger (if using) and salt.
- Make the batter into
medium consistency (not too thin or not too thick).
- Heat
a non-stick pan. When it is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter and
spread evenly into a round shape. Sprinkle some oil around the pesarattu
and cover.
- After some time, remove the cover and flip the pesarattu
over. Again cover and leave it for some time.
- When the pesarttu appears
to be cooked, remove it from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
- Repeat
the same process with remaining batter. This pesarattu can be eaten
just like that as it already spicy or can be eaten with any chutney, if
more spiciness is needed.
- Enjoy hot and yummy pesarattus.

Very interesting & unique. Lovely entry.
@Karuna,
Mung dal dosa and Mysore dosa are different Karuna! The ingredients are not the same. Mysore Masala Dosa uses all the 4 types of dal (Urad, Chana, Tuvar, Mung) :)
Uma, the color in your dosa is amazing! I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to find my way back to your blog. It's great to catch up with your posts!
Nice twist to ordinary pesaratu. Profile photo looks nice.
