Moong Dal Pesarattu Pancake Recipes

MOONG DAL DOSAS (PANCAKES)

Steps:

• Wash and soak the moong dal and rice in plenty of water. (room temperature) for 2 hours.
• Drain the dal and rice and grind them along with the green chillies, ginger and curry leaves (if using). Add a little water for easy blending. I usually add upto half a cup of the soaking liquid because I prefer thinner dosas.
• Add salt and asafoetida powder to the batter and mix well.
• ***The batter may be stored in this form in the refrigerator for upto a week.
• Before making dosas, garnish the batter with lots of chopped cilantro leaves.
• Some coconut and chopped onions may be added too. (I usually omit both).
• Make dosas or pancakes using very little oil on a non-stick pan.
• Enjoy as is or with some green chutney or pickle!
• I sometimes spread some chutney on the dosas, roll them up and chop them, stick a tooth-pick into each piece and serve as fun appetizers!
