Upma Pesarattu Upma Pesarattu
Upma Pesarattu is a very famous breakfast dish of Andhra Pradesh. The combination of Upma with Pesarattu (Dosa made with green moong dal) goes perfectly together, and with a side of ginger / onion chutney, it is a heat, just like Poori-Halwa or Khara Baath-Kesari Bath.Upma Pesarattu is one such thing, which I really enjoy in my breakfast. This is full of proteins and nutrients and makes a good power packed breakfast. It is very filling so you wont really feel hungry soon. Although the process looks quite lengthy, believe me it doesn't take very long if you do all the preparations before hand (like :- soak the dals the previous night, making some chutney and keep it in the fridge).Also this is my entry for the contest conducted by #ReshKitchen
