Steps

1

Wash and soak green moong dal in ample water for about 5 to 6 hours.
2

Drain the water and rinse well.Add the green moong dal,rice,green chillies,ginger and salt to a mixer jar.Add little water and grind it to a coarse and smooth batter.
3

Pesarattu batter should be thick but of pouring consistency.This batter does not need to ferment.
4

Fry onions in a tsp oil till light golden colour. Keep it aside.
5

Heat a greased cast iron tawa.If not can use non- stick tawa.But it tastes good if prepared on iron tawa.Sprinkle little water on tawa and immediately water should sizzle and evaporate.
6

After water evaporates reduce the flame and pour a laddle full of batter on centre of the tawa.Then quickly spread it to make dosa.Can make a hole at centre.Pour oil on edges.When it is cooked it turns golden colour and crispy outside.Now flip to the other side and cook slightly.
7

Now again flip and sprinkle fried onions over the pesarattu and press it with the stapula.Now fold it.
8

Serve hot with chutney.
